The Faysaliah Center

The golden ball that lies atop the tower is said to be inspired by a ballpoint pen. Inside the ball is a restaurant; at ground level, there is a shopping center with major world brands.
The tower was designed by world renowned architects Foster and Partners of the United Kingdom
The tower is part of a larger complex, the Al Faisalyah Complex, which consists of a hotel, the tower, and two other buildings.
