The observation deck at 649m on level 130 is designed with reflective surfaces and a floating platform, providing 360° panoramic views that extend from the coastline to the desert.
At the summit of the Burj Azizi tower, a dedicated museum will document the building’s development and deliver a comprehensive overview of the tower’s progression from its initial concept to completion using interactive exhibits including architectural models and blueprints.
The seven-floor luxury shopping mall will feature innovative boutiques, lofty atrium spaces, calming water and landscaped gardens, and a range of immersive experiences.

An adrenaline floor is also part of the tower and is set to be the highest of its kind anywhere in the world. With sweeping panoramic vistas, this destination is designed for both thrill-lovers and fitness-focused visitors and features a rock-climbing wall that rises dramatically upward.
Burj Azizi design details
Burj Azizi is conceived as a tall, slim landmark, combining modern refinement with sophisticated structural design. A reinforced concrete central core, supported by advanced motion-control technology, is intended to deliver steadiness and occupant comfort at significant elevations.
The external envelope features high-specification glazing and aluminium cladding, limiting solar heat build-up. Large window spans draw daylight deep into the building and open up wide-ranging vistas across the Arabian Gulf and the urban skyline.
Adaptable layouts such as cantilevered pools, wraparound viewing lounges, double-height rooms and outward-reaching terraces support residential and leisure arrangements.
Elevated gardens and planted sky spaces add a calming natural element throughout the ascent, forming distinctive green retreats within the tower.
The interiors feature soft textures, elegant furnishings, wood panelling and bespoke lighting.
Amenities at Burj Azizi skyscraper
A dedicated amenity floor is planned for every 20 residential levels of the Burj Azizi.
Each of these floors will feature swimming pools with sauna and steam rooms, a fully equipped gym and yoga centre, a spa, a games room offering billiards, chess and table tennis, and a business centre, among other amenities.
Seven-star hotel at Burj Azizi
An all-suite seven-star hotel is planned for level 118 of Burj Azizi. The hotel will be designed around seven distinct cultural themes: Arabic, Chinese, French, Indian, Persian, Russian and Turkish.
Each theme will be reflected in the hotel’s culturally styled restaurants. Among its signature features will be an authentic Emirati restaurant, a luxury ballroom and an exclusive beach club.
Technology details
Burj Azizi will incorporate advanced surveillance and security technologies, including Candid-branded Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras and intelligent vehicle-access control systems. These are designed to ensure accurate plate recognition, smooth traffic management, enhanced security, and efficient monitoring at all vehicular entry and exit points within the development.
The tower will also feature Hanwha Vision-branded CCTV systems, comprising high-resolution cameras, network video recorders, intelligent analytics and integrated monitoring platforms. These systems are engineered to provide reliable, low-latency performance and long-term operational stability, supporting secure and efficient management throughout the building.
In addition, a Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) system will be implemented to provide seamless, encrypted and highly reliable communications across Burj Azizi. This system is intended to enhance operational efficiency, safety and emergency response for all residential, hospitality, commercial and leisure areas within the tower.
