| [Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe |
This highrise was designed, to my knowledge, by a British architect and is known as Faysaliya, named after one of the Al-Saud monarchs. With two major highrises, Riyadh, the city with the largest economic volume in the Middle East or the Arabian Gulf, falls short compared to Dubai.
The building is quite elegant and has a restaurant at the top where you can view Riyadh. |

Hi Ian!
It's incredible the height of all the buildings that are coming up on the eastern part of the world! They all look so modern and beautiful. Your photo give us another example of such fine gigantic skyscrapers!
TFS - Congratulations!

Hi Ian!
There is something from an oil derrick in this building at the capital of most petroleum country in the world! :)
And some similarity with huge 300-meter skyscraper which Gazprom now begins to build in St Petersburg - but here it will be much more drown up..
Kind regards, Igor
