Kingdom Centre Tower is a skyscraper located in the heart of Riyadh. The construction of the tower was completed in 2002, and since then, it has become one of the tallest buildings in Saudi Arabia, with 99 stories. The tower consists of malls, hotels, offices, and luxury apartments. Its height of 992 ft and its unique inverted parabolic arch helps it stand out against a sea of skyscrapers and tall buildings. It is also home to the five star Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh, which is where the footballer, Christiano Ronaldo famously stayed with his family when he arrived in Riyadh.
Attractions
The highlight of the tower is its 65m sky bridge that is located on top of the skyscraper. It is shaped as an enclosed corridor with windows on both sides. Visitors can take two elevators to reach the floor after paying the entrance fee. The bridge offers a remarkable sight of the Riyadh skyline that cannot be viewed from any other place.
While the day offers a clear view of the surroundings, the night view is even better, with the city lights resembling tiny stars in the dark.
