ADNEC is in the Guinness Book of Records as the most leaning tower. I have also kept the video from 3D planning to finishing and its available on National Geographic's website. FYI, part of the building is made from millions of egg shells!
Many people criticise the Middle East, but as an Engineer it is the best place to have a chance to be involved in some great construction projects.
Glad you enjoyed the sights!
