The Toronto Sign is an illuminated three-dimensional sign in Nathan Phillips Square, that spells the city’s name. Nathan Phillips Square is named after Nathan Phillips, the Mayor of Toronto from 1955 to 1962.
We queued to enter the Canadian National Tower (CN Tower) it is walking distance from the Nathan Phillips Square.
The CN Tower is a 1815.5 ft (553.3m) tall concrete communications and observation tower in downtown Toronto. It’s a major tourist attraction and a signature icon of Toronto’s skyline, and is known for its breath taking views of the city, world-famous glass floors, and the Edgewalk, the world’s highest external walk on a building.
Completed in 1976, it is located in downtown Toronto, built on the former Railway Lands.
It would remain the tallest freestanding structure in the world until surpassed by Dubai’s Burj Khalifa in 2009. Now it stands as the 10 free-standing structures in the wrold.

We entered the CN Tower before sunset, after sunset the tower was a whole different world altogether, illuminated with lights and the view of the surroundings from the tower height was a wonderful experience in itself.
My son Zubair with his new-born daughter Hamna, the background is seen from inside the CN Tower.
Upon our exit, it was all calm, since it was closing time.
My suggestion to Aramco Expat readers is to visit the CN Tower to enjoy the scenic views from one of the world’s tallest towers.
