Mile-High Skyscaper Planned to Be Built in Saudi Arabia
If you are a fan of big buildings expect to be thrilled because Prince al-Wahid bin Talal of Saudi Arabia is planning on building a tower that will stand a mile high into the sky.
No, that is not a misprint.
If you do not think that the 100 dollar barrels of oil are creating a windfall for the Saudis then this will change your mind. In the Red Sea port town of Jeddah they are planning on building the largest building in the world, doubling size of the Dubai Tower that is nearing construction and tripling the size of the CN Tower in Toronto.
On a clear day, the view from the top will take in the Middle East, North Africa and the Indian Ocean – providing you’ve a head for heights.
Plans for a mile-high tower in the Saudi Arabian desert have been unveiled by the billionaire owner of London’s Savoy Hotel.
At 5,250ft, the £5billion project, masterminded by two British engineering consultancies, will be twice as high as its nearest rivals, skyscrapers under construction in Dubai and Kuwait, and almost seven times as high as the Canary Wharf tower in London’s Docklands. via the Daily Mail.

This is not surprising. With the Arab coffers bursting at the seams, it only seams befitting that the Oil Sheikhs will be busy thinking up grandoise schemes in which to squander their wealth. Whether the logistics and dynamics of such a building are possible, it remains to be seen, nevertheless, there are minds out there which are seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
