As I said in my previous post, Saudi isn't just about desert, camels, mosques and burqas. The country's economy is experiencing economic growth due to oil revenues and the recent boost in oil prices. And despite current contraction of oil revenues, the economy's still thriving on last year's budget surplus.
The Kingdom Centre's just the ex-libris attesting this recent development. It is the tallest skyscraper in Saudi Arabia with a height of 311 m. The Tower has a total of 99 floors and is situated in the busy King Fahd Road in the growing business district of Olaya. Beside offices, it contains a five-level shopping centre, a luxury hotel and the highest mosque in the world. The skybridge atop the skyscraper contains a public observation deck and a view of the entire city of Riyadh. When I first came here in March, we went up to the skybridge and had this amazing view over the city.
