The Al Faisaliah Tower in downtown Riyadh was the first skyscraper built in Saudi Arabia.
The 60-story building with a gently curving shape has a restaurant encapsulated in the golden geodesic orb that tops the Tower.
Al Faisaliyah is an upscale shopping establishment located as the name indicates in the Al Faisaliyah complex which has its own hotel and apartments under the same name.
This complex is owned by the two brothers, HRH Saad Al Faisal and HRH Turki Al Faisal.
Al Faisaliyah is a lovely and secure shopping complex with a variety of shops although the emphasis (as typical in the Kingdom) is on shops for women.
Al Faisaliyah is located in the Olaya district and known to all taxi drivers.
