A high-speed elevator takes you to the top of the building from where the floor-to-ceiling windows provide panoramic views of the city skyline and make for a particularly enchanting sight during the evening. On its 77th floor is the King Abdullah Mosque, which is famous for being the highest mosque in the entire world.
The top of the tower is an inverted parabolic arch with a 65-meter sky bridge at the top that gives the tower a unique look and makes for an incredible sight. The tower is a popular spot, not only among locals but also tourists that come to Riyadh from all over the world. This makes it incredibly busy on the weekends, which is why a weekday visit is recommended. It can also be booked for private dining experiences.
