I always adore the metro station design in Dubai. 🚇Ⓜ️ . . . . it's a photo that I took yesterday for what I call my stop station, I always stop by to transfer to the bus as there is a huge bus station with buses that it goes everywhere, or at least to the most places that I go usually. Or to pass by the famous Mall, the Mall of Emirates metro station, MOE as some may call it one of the busiest in the red line. And it's one of my favorites near the artificial lake. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #Dubai #dubailife #metrodubai #metro #mallofemirates #urbanphotography #urban #streetart #dubaistreet #design #architecture #dubaiarchitecture #uae #uae🇦🇪 #uaelife #uaejobs #dubaiweather #artificallake #nightclouds☁️☁️ #nightskyphotography (at Dubai, United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnrlgasNZLm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Meet Yahya Jan: The Architect Behind Dubai's Ciel Tower, the World's Tallest Hotel

Gazing at the Dubai skyline, you’re likely admiring the work of Yahya Jan, president and design director of the architecture and engineering firm NORR. His portfolio includes notable landmarks like the Atlantis and Shangri-La Hotels.

Jan's latest endeavor is his most ambitious yet. Scheduled for completion by the end of 2024, the Ciel Dubai Marina, also known as Ciel Tower, will feature over 1,000 rooms and suites across 82 floors. Standing approximately 1,200 feet (365 meters) tall, it is poised to become the world’s tallest hotel.

A Passion Project

Jan was challenged to design the skyscraper on a triangular plot at Dubai Marina, spanning just 2,500 square meters—remarkably small for such a tall building. “It’s a property that’s very compressed,” he told CNN in 2021. “The constraints were tremendous, and yet we had to make it work.”

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the project is energy efficient, using 25% less power for air conditioning compared to similar buildings. “This project is not just about architecture. It’s about architecture and engineering coming together,” Jan said. “That’s why I love the project so much. It is my passion, the convergence of science and art.”

Throughout the construction, Jan has remained deeply involved. “When you design a project as complex as the Ciel, you can never let your guard down, you can never say it’s over,” he stated. “It’s a continuous process.”

An Extended Stay

Arriving in Dubai in 1996, Jan never envisioned leaving such a legacy, having designed many of the city’s iconic office developments, residential towers, and malls.

Jan, who grew up in Karachi, Pakistan, moved to the US at 18 on a scholarship. After studying structural engineering at Princeton, he earned a Master’s in architecture. He worked in the US for nine years before a job offer to design the Emirates Towers office and hotel complex brought him to Dubai.

Now 61, Jan has spent 28 years in Dubai, despite not planning to stay so long. “I got carried away with the excitement here,” he said.

Regarding Ciel Tower, named after the French word for sky, Jan hopes it will achieve timeless status, akin to New York City’s Empire State Building or Chrysler Building. “The reason I like the name Ciel is because in our own lives, the sky is the limit,” he said. “I’ve had a chance to grow and do things I didn’t think I would get a chance to do. It’s been amazing.”

Dubai Creek and Traditional Abras:

Dubai Creek, the lifeline of Old Dubai, has played a pivotal role in the city's history as a hub for fishing, pearl diving, and trade. Take a stroll along the waterfront and witness the seamless blend of the old and new with traditional wooden dhows peacefully coexisting with modern yachts. For a more immersive experience, board a traditional abra, a wooden boat that has been used for centuries to ferry goods and people across the creek. This short journey provides a unique perspective of the city's skyline and a glimpse into its maritime heritage.

Built entirely of white stone in the medieval Fatimid tradition, the mosque is a stunning example of intricate artistry and grandeur. Open to non-Muslim visitors, guided tours provide insights into Islamic traditions and architecture, fostering cross-cultural understanding.

Bastakiya Quarter:

Also known as Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood, the Bastakiya Quarter is a charming area that transports visitors back in time. The narrow lanes are flanked by restored courtyard houses with wind towers, and the air is filled with a sense of tranquility. The quarter is home to various art galleries, cultural centers, and the delightful Arabian Tea House, offering a peaceful retreat where history and creativity converge.

Alserkal Avenue:

For a contemporary twist on cultural exploration, head to Alserkal Avenue, a dynamic arts and culture district in the industrial Al Quoz neighbourhood. This thriving hub hosts numerous art galleries, creative spaces, and trendy cafes, showcasing the city's commitment to fostering a vibrant cultural scene while preserving its industrial heritage.

The historical and heritage sites highlighted here weave a narrative of Dubai's evolution, celebrating the rich tapestry of its history and cultural diversity.

After years of planning, and having those plans fall apart, I am finally in Dubai. The last time I was here, I was 10 years old. My dad lived here and we had visited him. At that time, the city was smaller, less glamorous, and sandy. When we had visited, Dubai had just been hit by a sandstorm, and we walked into a city with curious sights like cars half buried in sand and funny looking bushy trees. 

The city has changed beyond my imagination. Plush, electric, and shiny, it’s now a tourism and business magnet. Like every other city that I am interested in, I will discover Dubai at my own pace, slowly and deeply.

Here are 3 moods of the city.

Fresh and optimistic in the morning.

Sultry and moody in the evening.

Dazzling and charming by night.

I’m here for a month. Sad that I missed the Dubai Lit Fest.

This is why preserving historical art with new architecture leads to national identity.
