Mohammed VI Tower

The Mohammed VI Tower (Arabic: برج محمد السادس) is a 55-storey, 250-metre (820 ft) skyscraper in the city of Salé, bordering Rabat, the capital of Morocco.

[3] Benjelloun claims that the rocket shape would be inspired from his experience in the United States: “This particular shape is inspired by my visit to the NASA space agency, at Cape Canaveral in Florida in the USA, where I was invited to participate in a spaceflight simulation, in 1969, in company of the astronaut Pete Conrad, prior to the launch of the actual flight of Apollo 12 to the moon in November of the same year.

[citation needed] In March 2016, 10 additional floors were added to the plan and it was announced that the tower would instead be built in the city of Salé.

The building, now renamed the Mohammed VI Tower, would house a mix of components for hotel use, offices, residential and retail.

[8] With 55 floors, it will include a luxury hotel, offices, high-end apartments and an observatory located at the top of the tower.
