Dubai is a city known for its iconic skyscrapers, and the Muraba Veil may just give the famous Burj Khalifa a run for its money. This super-thin building, which will stand 380 metres tall, is set to be built in one of the most coveted areas of the city, between Jumeirah and Downtown, overlooking the stunning Dubai Water Canal. What makes the Muraba Veil unique is its width - or lack thereof. At just 22.5 metres wide, it will be a striking sight alongside the more traditionally designed structures that surround it.
As with most skyscrapers, this one is already earning itself a nickname - "The Ruler". And with its luxurious amenities and prime location, it's not hard to see why. The developers have released artist impressions giving us a glimpse of what life inside The Ruler might look like. Lush greenery and water features are prominent throughout, with an "underground oasis" spa being a standout feature. However, as expected with such luxury, living here comes with a hefty price tag, with the cheapest apartment starting at around £3.78 million.
The building's unique design also extends to its exterior. The Muraba Veil will be wrapped in a reflective mesh made of stainless steel, aptly giving it its name. Not only does this mesh provide shade and add to the building's aesthetic, but it also helps to naturally cool the interior by filtering in natural light. In this way, the Muraba Veil is very much a "villa above the clouds", created to provide a private sanctuary in the midst of the desert.
The interior of The Ruler is just as impressive as its exterior. Each apartment will span the entire width of the building, ensuring that every resident has a breathtaking view of the city and the sky. The highest apartments will undoubtedly be a dream come true for those who aren't afraid of heights. In total, there will be 131 apartments, ranging from two to four bedrooms, as well as a luxurious five-bedroom penthouse, spread out over 73 stories. And while it may be one of the tallest skyscrapers in Dubai, it is also one of the skinniest, only being wider than the "world's thinnest skyscraper", the Steinway Tower in New York, by a mere 4.5 metres.
The Muraba Veil is a collaboration between Dubai-based developer Muraba and Spanish firm RCR Arqitectes, and it is clear that they have taken inspiration from traditional local architecture. Each apartment is designed around an "Arab courtyard reimagined", giving residents a sense of privacy and tranquility in the midst of the bustling city. The project is set to be completed by 2028, and it is sure to become one of Dubai's most iconic buildings, a true testament to the city's ever-evolving skyline.
