The Al Faisaliyah Center is a commercial skyscraper located in the business district of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It is the third tallest building in Saudi Arabia after the Kingdom Centre and Abraj Al Bait
. Immediately below the ball is an outside viewing deck; at ground
level, there is a shopping center with major world brands. The Al
Faisaliah Center is about 267 meters high and consists of 44 floors. The four corner beams of the Al Faisaliah Complex join at the top above a golden ball. The design is said[who?]
to be based on that of a ballpoint pen. Inside the golden ball is a
luxurious restaurant. There is a clear view of Saudi Arabia's other
skyscraper, the Kingdom Centre, from the Al Faisaliah Center and the two
buildings create a silhouetted skyline in the evening. The tower was
designed by UK based architects Foster and Partners and engineers Buro Happold.
It is part of an Al Faisaliah Complex, which consists of a hotel, the
tower, and two other buildings. The tower features several restaurants
like 11a and the Globe and also has a cigar lounge at the top floor.
