The Etisalat Tower in Sharjah, UAE. It's my favourite not-so-tall building. It is supposed to resemble the Babylon tower.

I give it a 9.8/10

Looks good and somehow manages to look graceful with that massive golf ball on top...

7.5/10

how tall is it btw?

8/10

Weird, but I like it.

whoa, very exotic looking. Golf Club?

8/10

It's the Sharjah headquarers for the Etisalat Company, the largest communications company in the UAE. It's 17 floors high.

It's very unique!! I like it! 8/10

elegant design
9/10

8,5/10 unique for a 17 storey building

9.5/10. It's incredible! Very unique indeed.

This building should be twice as tall as it is. It would look much better proportioned. And I don't know what it is, but it just looks fake. You know what I mean? A lot of newer Asian and Middle Eastern skyscrapers just have that feel.

A nice design, though. I'd give it an 8...but because of that GIGANTIC golf ball (what, is it a driving range?) on top :puke:, I'm going to have to downgrade it to a 5. Whoever decided it would be a good idea to put that thing on top should be dragged and beaten to death in a packed soccer stadium.

Looks very cool

6/10 with the Titleist . . 9/10 without it

hmmmm......dunno sorta weird but i like it..forgot what i gave it;)

Now that we've got a golf ball building, all we need now is the club. :D

Very interesting shape, and nice colours.

8.5/10

very very nice building;)

Thank you, Eric! I LIKE that Tower with a Ball on top! :okay:

It would have been nice, though, if you had provided a bit more information about it: height, date of construction, architect, type of use ... but even if all that wasn't easily available, you should at least tell us one thing, please: WHERE is this tower?

From its appearance I would guess it's somewhere in the Middle East. Is that right?

In that case, the architecture is perfectly suited for its local setting & therefore give it an 8.5.

7.5 for having that golf ball on the top of the tower.. but the concrete part of the tower, the sides, is ugly :(

I don't like it at all.With or without the damn ball. It has concrete almost all over it.The ball looks ugly too,only it looks ok when it's dark. 4.50/10

6.5/10

It looks like it could be really exciting, but those huge concrete sidearms really kills it...

I have noticed that many of the new skyline in asia and the middle east are littered with towers that have revolving restaurants and all these balls on top..
An attempt to look futuristic?
looks like crap...
I give this one a
6.9

it's not very tall, but I like it...

7/10

The only thing I like about it is the glass. 3

It's an ugly building, but it makes a great tee.

I give it a "fore" point five.

Golf puns: Is there anything better?

What a fabulous and innovative building ruined by ridiculous ornamentation at the top! A golf ball!?!?!? :rant: As much as I love the building... I just couldn't imagine seeing a giant golf ball in the sky all the time... so I'm going to have to give this a 5, unfortunately.

3.5/10 I hate the ball.

Yeah,wtf is a golf ball doing on top of a skyscraper? :baaa:
5.5/10

6/10

sometimes i see golf balls....

7.5/10 :)

6. The ball deosn't fit the tower:)

9/10


I won't give a 10 due to the ball on the top

5/10

I don't like it

really ugly, 3

9/10

exotic shampoo bottle :D

The ball is a neccesity im afraid, etisalat is the uae's only phone company, they have 1 or more towers in every state in the UAE, and every one has a ball, its like a symbol!

Very nice and very unique, but i don't like the ball. 7/10

9/10 unique and artistic.

Nice futuristic design. 8/10

7/10 - Interesting top

BOOOAH!!!! 10/10!!!!!

9/10

8.5/10

8/10 nice design

apparently the balls store some kind of telecommunications equipment.

6.5/10 looks bulky and don't like ball on buildings

9.5/10 for this one. :okay:
