AHS Tower, formerly Al Yaqoub Tower, rises on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai and was designed by Adnan Saffarini. Construction began in 2006, though the article also cites dates in 2007, and the tower topped out in 2010 and was completed in 2013. The article gives no style, materials or structural system.

The roof is 1,076 feet (328 m) high, with 69 floors including one basement. The design was inspired by London's Elizabeth Tower, which earned it the nickname Big Ben of Dubai. It has no clock face, since plans for a working clock were dropped over concerns that it would distract drivers.

Daro Saifuddin Yaqoub owned the building privately before AHS Properties acquired it in early 2025. The infobox lists its status as closed for renovation. The article does not describe its current use or public access.
