The '''Dubai World Trade Centre''' ('''DWTC''') ({{lang-ar|مركز التجارة العالمي دبي}}) is a business complex in [[Dubai]], [[United Arab Emirates]], built by H.H. Sheikh [[Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum]]. It is located along [[Sheikh Zayed Road]] at the Trade Centre Roundabout. The complex is comprised of the original tower (built in 1979), eight exhibition halls, the [[Dubai International Convention Centre]], and residential apartments.
The 39-story office tower stands 149 metres (489 feet) tall and a majority of the floors are let commercially. At the time it was built, it was the tallest building in Dubai (and UAE) and the first high rise along [[Sheikh Zayed Road]].<ref>[http://www.dicc.ae/aboutdicec/dwtc_en_gb.aspx Dubai World Trade Centre - Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre]</ref> The tenants of the building include [[Federal Express]], [[General Motors]], [[Johnson & Johnson]], [[MasterCard International]], [[Schlumberger]], [[Sony]], and the consulates of [[Italy]], [[Japan]], [[Spain]], [[Switzerland]], [[Turkey]], and the [[United States of America]].<ref>[http://www.dwtc.com/facility/tower.htm DWTC Tower]</ref>
