City on Fire, Al-Faisaliyah Tower

To refresh our senses, to break from usual squandering things that reminded us that we are expatriate and to beat the scorching climate of Saudi Arabia, me and my co–workers here in Saudi Arabia mutually agreed to take definitive journey to the intriguing and iconic Al-Faisaliah Tower located in the heart of Riyadh last Eid Al Fitr or End of Ramadan Festival.

Here are some of the pictures I took at the top or viewing deck of Faisaliyah Tower.Enjoy!!!!

The Al Faisaliyah Center is a commercial skyscraper located in the business district of Riyadh. It is the second tallest building in Saudi Arabia after the Kingdom Center. Immediately below it an outside viewing deck; at ground level, there is a shopping center with major world brands. The Al Faisaliyah Center is about 267 meters high and consists of 44 floors. The 4 corner beams of the Al Faisaliyah center join at the top above a golden ball. The design is said to be based on that of a ballpoint pen. Inside the golden ball is a luxury revolving restaurant. There is a clear view of Saudi Arabia's other skyscraper, the Kingdom Center, from the Al Faisaliyah Center and the two buildings create a silhouetted skyline in the evening. The tower was designed by UK based architects Foster and Partners and engineers Buro Happold. It is part of an Al Faisaliyah Complex, which consists of a hotel, the tower, and two other buildings. The tower also has several restaurants like 11a and the Globe and has also a Cigar lounge at the top floor. (Wikipedia)
