shortened form of Ziggurat, "a temple tower of the ancient Mesopotamian valley and Iran, having the form of a terraced pyramid of successively receding stories or levels."

The word is used in a contemporary context to refer to the structure proposed for construction in Dubai, set to house 1.1 million citizens.
