According to the Dubai Police Traffic Department, Emirates Road is the most dangerous road in Dubai. 

It had the highest number of fatalities in the first half of 2017, followed by Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.

The latest statistics from Dubai Police’s Traffic Department also recorded 75 deaths in the first half of 2017, compared to 112 deaths in the first half of 2016. 

Overall road deaths are down in the first half of this year, in comparison to the same period last year.

"The number of road fatalities went down this year due to an increase in road security control and our efforts in raising awareness about traffic rules violations," Brigadier Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, Director of Traffic Department at Dubai Police told Gulf News.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid unveiled a monumental sculpture of the 'The Tower' at Dubai Mall last month.

Now, the Dubai Media Office has released a video highlighting the construction progress of what will eventually be the tallest tower in the world, based at Dubai Creek Harbour.

News of the planned structure was announced earlier this year. 

'The Tower' is designed by Spanish-Swiss architect Santiago Calatrava Valls and will be the centrepiece of the Dubai Creek Harbour. 

The ongoing development is managed by Emaar Properties. 

The massive structure is intended to define Dubai to the world during Expo 2020, just as the Eiffel Tower defined Paris during the 1889 World's Fair.

'The Tower' will be 928 meters high and will replace Burj Khalifa (830 meters) as Dubai's tallest structure.

However, the one tower to put them all in the shadows will be the 'Jeddah Tower' in Saudi Arabia that will be standing tall at 1-kilometre height! It is expected to be completed in 2019.
