If you ever feel like your city just isn’t dreaming big enough, take a look at Dubai—where architects don’t just think outside the box… they launch the box into orbit and build a tower on top of it.
This city doesn’t just reach for the sky—it reshapes it. And two of its most jaw-dropping upcoming projects are here to prove that the only limit in Dubai is your imagination (and even that might be optional).
Tick Tock, It’s Big Ben… in Dubai?
That’s right—Big Ben is getting a second act, and it’s not in London. DAMAC has unveiled plans for the Big Ben Tower, an awe-inspiring skyscraper that will become the world’s tallest residential clock tower. Move over Elizabeth Tower—Dubai’s version is taller, shinier, and (because it’s Dubai) packed with luxury living spaces.
But this isn’t just about copying a British icon. It’s about remixing it with the usual Dubai flair. Imagine sipping coffee in your high-rise apartment, glancing at your very own view of Big Ben… while surrounded by desert dunes and supercars.
According to DAMAC, this architectural marvel will blend classic British elegance with Dubai’s unapologetic appetite for “go big or go home.” And just like its London namesake, the clock will actually work—because telling the time in style is a Dubai essential.

And Then They Put the Moon on a Skyscraper. No, Seriously.
If the Big Ben Tower wasn’t enough, Dubai’s next headline-making dream is called… MOON. No, it’s not a metaphor. We’re talking about a massive, glowing, 274-meter spherical replica of the Moon, perched on top of a circular skyscraper. Yes, Dubai is literally putting the Moon on a building.
This $5 billion project will feature a 4,000-room hotel, a lunar-themed resort, an event space, and—wait for it—a simulated lunar surface where guests can walk on the “Moon” while remaining very much on Earth.
It’s the closest thing we have to space tourism without Elon Musk, a rocket, or motion sickness. Why go to the actual Moon when you can just Uber to one on Sheikh Zayed Road?

Only in Dubai
Let’s be honest: no one else is doing this. You won’t see Paris suspending the Eiffel Tower on top of a spinning disco ball, or New York installing Saturn’s rings around the Empire State Building. But in Dubai? That’s just another Tuesday.
From the tallest tower on Earth to man-made islands shaped like palm trees, Dubai keeps showing the world that “impossible” is just a word waiting to be redesigned in gold, glass, and LED lights.
So next time someone asks you where to invest, vacation, or just be amazed—tell them: head to Dubai, where the sky is not the limit. It’s just the beginning.
