Opened to the public in July 1996, this magnificent tower is built atop the Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, the oldest gazetted forest reserve in Malaysia that shelters age-old trees and floras and faunas indigenous to Malaysia’s tropical climate.
The architectural design of the tower is based on Islamic architecture, reflecting Malaysia’s vibrant Islamic heritage with Arabic calligraphy, geometric-patterned tiles, and Islamic abstract patterns.
The tower’s indoor Observation Deck, at 276 metres above ground level, offers visitors a magnificent view of the metropolitan city, while the outdoor Sky Deck, at 300 metres above ground level, offers a greater vantage point of the city. The Sky Box, panelled with glass facade all around including the floor, extends out from the Sky Deck’s ledge, providing never-before-seen views of the city.

Founded in 1906, it is one of the oldest permanent forest reserves in Malaysia and home to a variety of indigenous trees, herbs and other tropical floras.
