Here's another peculiar building that we saw on our trip to DoBuy and Abu Dhabi. It is Capital Gate Tower in Abu Dhabi and is the most leaning building in the world. The top floors of the 160 m tower are almost completely outside the bottom floors. It looks impossible, but clever engineers have made it work. Building started in 2007 and was only just complete when we were there. It was a bit hard to get photos of it so forgive Dad for the first photo. It was taken out of the car window and needed a bit of straightening. The only parking spot we could find was where the second photo was taken. It is almost in front of the building so the overhang is not as obvious. You can find some great images of the building on the web. I love these strange buildings and the Emirates are the place to find them.
