Destination: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Place of interest: Kingdom Center

About $458 million was used to create this amazing shopping mall in Saudi Arabia. The 984 foot tall Kingdom Center can be seen from miles around. This is because the average building height isn’t taller than 5 stories!

The top of the skyscraper is an inverted parabolic curve. An observations deck connects the ends. This observation deck is glass-clad and shows unparalleled views. Amazing, isn’t it?

So, are you in the mood to shop till you drop? Let’s go have a blast!
