The Sama Tower is a skyscraper along Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The tower has 49 floors. Construction began in 2006 and was completed in late 2009. The building was originally proposed as a supertall building named Al Durrah Tower II. The design was a 330 m twisting tower with more than 75 storeys for residential use, costing about US$140 million. This design was regarded as a major addition to the Dubai skyline, but at the same time, the height of the project was a concern to Dubai's Department of Civil Aviation. In response to this issue, the project was scaled back to 194 metres with 51 stories.
