The Al Noor Tower is a proposed 540-meter 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]
