I Creek Harbour
Dubai Creek Masjed Mediating the Harbor Reserve and Calatrava’s Tower The proposed Masjed design sits at the natural vista as a monumental structure.
In a city full of landmarks, it’s hard to imagine how an architect can pull off a project that is even more rooted in the rich culture of the UAE. The design team proposed a monumental Masjed following the famed Calatrava’s Dubai Creek Tower. The tower features an Islamic Minaret, a distinctive architectural feature in Islamic culture, and links Ramsar—a protected wetland and wildlife refuge—in a major spine at the Creek Harbor. Likewise, the Masjed design is proposed following EMAAR Master plan. It acts as a Dome

structure for the Minaret emphasizing the minaret’s Lily Flower concept. The iconic Masjed is located along the green corridor consisting of series of pedestrian bridges that are visually connecting the tower to the sea. Dubai Creek Harbor is a six square-kilometer world-class development located on Dubai Creek. The area has long been Dubai’s center of history and culture and is in close proximity to the Ras Al Khor National Wildlife Sanctuary.
