Al Hamra Tower
برج الحمراء
Kuwait's tallest building at about 412 metres, with a twisting, sculptural form that represents the Gulf city skyline. A shopping mall occupies its base.
Al Hamra Tower was completed in 2011 and stands about 412 metres tall, making it the tallest building in Kuwait. It was designed by SOM. One side of the tower is cut away to create a twisting, shawl-like form, clad in limestone, and it is often described as one of the world's most sculptural skyscrapers. The Al Hamra Shopping Mall at its base has shops, cinemas, and restaurants. The top-floor observation deck opens only occasionally. For skyline photos from the Kuwait Towers or Gulf Road, it is most striking when shown alongside the Kuwait Towers.
Opening hours
