I made this picture to show you how BARWA tower, DUBAI tower, ALBIDAA tower, and DOHA office tower will look like in our skyline. Hope It will be very close to the reality.

Notice: there is an illusion in the picture due to the perspective, buildings in the right appear smaller than the left coz the left are closer to the camera.
But I mad the size of the 4 towers as there is no illusion

SEE this with some other towers that will appear in our skyline; there are more towers but I can't put them all .
