The Al Noor Tower is a cancelled 540 meters skyscraper that was to be built in Casablanca, Morocco. If built, it would have been the tallest building in Africa. The concept of the tower was created by a French designer, Amédée Santalo, based in Dubai. The owner is Sheikh Tarek bin Laden, the half brother of Osama bin Laden.[3] The project was canceled in 2018.[1]
