List of tallest buildings in Saudi Arabia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list of tallest buildings in Saudi Arabia ranks the tallest buildings in Saudi Arabia by height.
The tallest building in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the Makkah Royal Clock Tower in Mecca, which stands at a height of 601 m (1,972 ft). Completed in 2012, it is the fourth-tallest building in the world and serves as the centerpiece of The Clock Towers complex, also known as Abraj Al Bait. Over the past two decades, a high-rise construction boom has significantly reshaped the national skyline. The Public Investment Fund Tower, completed in 2021 with a height of 385 m (1,263 ft), is currently the tallest building in Riyadh. Consequently, Riyadh ranks as the fourth city in the Middle East to have a significant number of skyscrapers, following Dubai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi. Since 2014, a total of 100 skyscrapers have been constructed within the city.[1]
