Sheikh Tarek M. Binladen, Chairman of Middle East Development based in Dubai. Being part of Binladen Family, who owns the largest construction company in the world, has an uncomparable experience in development.

Al Noor’s vision is to develop cities all over the world, that are intended to vastly increase widespread economic development providing an impetus for economic integration, improved living standards, private commerce and regional social cohesion. These cities will provide an anchor for employment and peaceful, sustained development, allowing the region’s underutilized human and material resources to flourish while providing a healthy investment environment. We aim to create economic opportunity and stability on both sides of the Red Sea by tying in the bridge to new rail and road construction hubs and networks in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. 
The first project to come into reality will be the Al Noor Cities in Yemen and Djibouti.

Our mission is to help mankind by improving the quality of life for everyone. By building our cities we aim to serve humanity, create employment, stimulate investment and increase the standard of living in developing countries.
The Al Noor Cities will reduce health, economical and educational fracture, will develop new markets in an up to date manner by providing the latest technology solutions for energy, and ecology in a dynamic real estate market. We strive to consistently create an environment of hope and opportunities.

Al Noor Tower is part of that beautiful vision.
