“Plenty of skyscrapers dominate the desert horizons of the Middle East including the world’s tallest building, the 2716ft Burj Khalifa in Dubai, but until now the term ‘leaning tower’ has been associated with just one destination – Pisa. The centuries-old Italian tourist attraction – which began to lean shortly after it was built in 1173 – has a new rival in the shape of the 48ft-high Capital Gate building in Abu Dhabi. The tower has already been officially recognized as the ‘furthest-leaning man-made tower’ in the world by Guinness World Records.” LINK
