The Al Faisaliyah Center was the fi

The Al Faisaliyah Center was the first skyscraper constructed in Saudi Arabia, and the second tallest building in the country after the Kingdom Center. The golden ball that lies atop the tower is said to be inspired by a ballpoint pen. Inside the ball is a restaurant; at ground level, there is a shopping center with major world brands.

The tower was designed by UK based architects Foster and Partners and engineers Buro Happold.

The tower is part of a larger complex, the Al Faisalyah Complex, which consists of a hotel, the tower, and two other buildings.
