AHS Tower, formerly known as Al Yaqoub Tower, is a 328-meter (1,076-foot) skyscraper of 69 floors on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, designed by the engineer Adnan Saffarini and completed in 2013 after topping out in 2010. Its form was inspired by the Elizabeth Tower that houses Big Ben in London, earning it the nickname the Big Ben of Dubai, although early plans for a working clock face were dropped over concern that it would distract drivers on the busy road below. Built for the private owner Daro Saifuddin Yaqoub, the tower was acquired by AHS Properties in early 2025 and renamed, and it is currently undergoing renovation.
