context_page_description: Deira Clocktower, originally referred to as the Dubai Clocktower, is a roundabout in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The Clocktower is located in eastern Dubai in Deira, at the intersection of Umm Hurrair Road and route D 89. Situated in the locality of Al Rigga, the Deira Clocktower, now a prominent monument in Deira, provides access to the Al Maktoum Bridge, the first land crossing constructed between Deira and Bur Dubai.
  The Dubai clock tower was built in 1965
  and was designed by Architect Ziki Homsi, a partner at Architecture Design Construction Office. Also ADC was the builder of the clocktower in 1965.
  The Clocktower was erected as a symbol of Dubai and located in Deira because major routes into Dubai converged prior to the building of Dubai - Abu Dhabi Road.
  The Deira Clock Tower can be reached by Dubai Metro. The nearest metro station is Al-Rigga on the Red Line. The area around Deira clock tower is very important commercially, and includes the offices of major international airlines operating in UAE.
  The Telegraph newspaper listed Dubai Clock Tower among the 17 most beautiful clock towers around the world.
