The project comprising two towers, rising from a landscaped podium structure, will also offer individual townhouse opportunities and shared leisure amenities, such as a swimming pool, gym and recreation areas. Emaar appointed architecture and engineering consultancy SSH to carry out the design and construction supervision for the Creek Horizon project. SSH said the project’s design encourages an integrated lifestyle development that promises island-style living in Dubai. It added that with construction now at podium level, progress on the residential scheme will accelerate. Once complete, the towers will top out at 39 storeys and 36 stories. Creek Horizon will form part of Dubai Creek Harbour, a new master plan development from Emaar Properties in joint venture with Dubai Holding that is focused on building urban island residences onto the contours of the creek.

Introduction The culture of Middle East is vibrant. It is mixed with classic Arab Islamic flavour and western modern thoughts. Many experts believe that the culture of the Arabs and UAE in. particular, is pretty dynamic. Every decadeshows a new social trend, like 1970sUAE showed a reckless social activity, and the 1980s showed different characteristics.Nowadays, Islamic fundamentalism is knocking the door. Different phasesof the UAE's culture have not changedthe intellectual sphere of the society. One can really say that the UAE is facing an intellectual bankruptcy. Apart from poetic advancement,UAE's cultural activities are null. There are, of course, cultural activities like seminars,lectures, and fairs, but there are no audiencesfor them. People do not seemto be interested in cultural activities or preserving ancient traditions. There are, of course, a lot of stories, political analyses,and historical books written, but any new philosophy is not promoted in the society. To evolve, any society needsnot only economic progress, but intellectual growth and free society, too. Every civilization has evolved remarkably, not only becauseof economic and military power, but also by contributions to art, music, literature, and architecture, for example. The culture of the UAE is not getting a motivation or support for a cultural revolution.
