Dubai Municipality has announced the completion of the iconic Deira Clock Tower project at Dhs 10 million. The project, which commenced in May, is complete and delivers a new life into the iconic landmark. Offering the perfect blend of modernity and tradition, the Clock Tower Roundabout has new floors, and a state-of-the-art water fountain combined with 3D lighting systems.
The newly revamped Deira Clock Tower offers aesthetic views that blend seamlessly with stunning horticultural elements. The centrepiece is a majestic water fountain with a fresh and contemporary design. The project goes well with Dubai's urban character and retains its historical significance.
His Excellency Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality said, "We completed the development of the Clock Tower Roundabout in Deira, one of the most prominent engineering and architectural landmarks in Dubai on schedule, giving it a new facade with modern designs that are aligned with the nation’s cultural and historical character and the city’s status as a vibrant creative hub. The project reflects Dubai Municipality's commitment to transforming key landmarks and further enhancing the city's attractiveness, cultural vitality and aesthetic ambience."
From the renovation of the floors to the implementation of new designs and structural framework featuring unique elements with 3D design, Dubai Municipality has added the perfect touch of elegance to the tower. It also uses sustainable agricultural components by planting 'Ground Cover Sisifium' in the inland basins. Meanwhile, the surroundings of the clock tower have Washingtonia palms and three tiers of wildflowers.
Bader Anwahi, CEO of the Public Facilities Agency said, "In a harmonious blend of form and function, Dubai Municipality's newly designed water fountain is congruent with the clock tower’s architecture. Its four limbs extend symmetrically, opposite to the tower's columns. The fountain features a multi-tiered arrangement of nozzles on the clock tower’s limbs, each angled uniquely to create a hierarchical structure. Central nozzles rise intersectionality, reaching heights of up to five meters. Each nozzle is equipped with RGB lighting, offering a medley of pre-programmed colours. A smart fountain sensor adjusts the height of the water jets to respond to variations in wind intensity."
