Deira Clock Tower
The Clock Tower in Deira, built in 1963, is also known as the Dubai Clocktower. Located in Deira of eastern Dubai, along the intersection of Umm Hurair Road and Al Maktoum Road, at the Al Rigga locality, the clocktower is a major monument in Deira, offering access to the Al Maktoum Bridge, the first land crossing constructed between Bur Dubai and Deira. The clocktower was erected as a symbol of Dubai, and was erected in Deira, as that was the convergence point of all major routes to Dubai before construction of the Dubai-Abu Dhabi road. Constructed by the Overseas AST in 1964, the monument began to crack and corrode towards 1972, and it was renovated again in 1972.
