Landmark


Al Faisaliah Tower is the first skyscraper in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, followed by Kingdom Tower on the same street along King Fahad or Olaya Avenue. Kingdom Tower was once considered one of the ten world's most beautiful buildings. King Fahad and Olaya are parallel roads adjacent to each other. On these business district that Bonnie Torre (TFC) , Francis Torre (ALJ), Senan Angara (Dallah) and Xenos Angara-Caruz' (STC) respective offices are located. The design of Al Faisaliah Tower is inspired by the Islamic pointed arc. Within Riyadh, these two towers are prominent and since there are no other competing high-rise building, is a good landmark and point of reference when you lost your way in the city. These photos were taken from different directions on my way to Olaya Avenue where Al Faisaliah Tower can be seen. It is like seeing Ermita Hill from Minanga, Dilod, Dipagbato and other areas in Casiguran.
