| dc.description | View looking up at the tower, showing the partially open latticework design and summit intended to evoke a lotus plant; Cairo Tower is the tallest all-concrete structure in the world (i.e. no steel frames or columns). The design is inspired by the lotus flower. The capsule at the top of the tower contains a revolving restaurant, cafeteria and outdoor public viewing deck.
