The Capital Gate Building is an iconic leaning skyscraper in Abu Dhabi. Measuring 160 meters (520 ft) and 35 stories, it is one of the tallest buildings in the city and leans at an astonishing 18 degrees to the west, four times than the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa.

In June 2010, the Guinness Book of World Records certified Capital Gate as the “World’s furthest leaning man-made tower.”

The 35-storey tower, which opened less just a year ago after five years of construction, is fast becoming one of Abu Dhabi’s most famous landmarks.
