Ninive - Jumeirah Emirates Towers

Everything started from its geographical location. The restaurant is suspended, as though floating, in the heart of a sweltering city district, in the center of the world, yet in the middle of the desert. Ninive is designed as a contemporary urban majlis between a garden and a caravanserai. In Islamic culture, the majlis is the space where one meets to make decisions. It needed a name that represented this meeting, preserving its link to the history of the region. Now, according to researchers, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the only Wonder of the World never found, would have flourished in ancient Ninive, one of the oldest cities of Mesopotamia. This name requires authenticity, it induces a thousand stories that carry the legend. This is how Ninive was born.
