The Burj Mubarak al-Kabir was a Visionary megatall skyscraper in Kuwait City, Kuwait.[1] It was to be part of the future city called Madinat al-Hareer. Expected completion was likely to be around in 2030. If built, it would have become the world's tallest building, surpassing the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Its height is in order to reflect the folk tale collection One Thousand and One Arabian Nights.[2] If built, the tower would have been the tallest skyscraper in Kuwait, surpassing Al Hamra Tower.
Skyscrapers do not normally exceed 80 floors due to the amount of space that would be taken up by elevators. However, the Mubarak al-Kabir Tower would consist of a far greater number of floors. This would necessitate double or triple-decker elevators.[citation needed]
In order to cope with winds, the tower was designed as three interlocking towers, each twisting 45 degrees to help stabilize it.
