Inaugurated in 1979 and designed by a Danish-Swedish architect (and a woman, no less) as part of a water distribution system, this trio of towers sits on a promontory jutting into the Arabian Gulf just east of the city proper and has come to be a national icon, with their distinctive architecture featuring blue/green-tiled spheres. Besides a water tank, the main tower - rising 614 feet - also houses a lounge, a revolving observation deck, and a pair of restaurants.
