Saudi Arabia is planning a groundbreaking architectural marvel in Riyadh's al-Qirawan district. Launched in February 2023, The Mukaab is a proposed 400-meter tall, cube-shaped skyscraper, part of the New Murabba development. This futuristic building draws inspiration from the historic Murabba Palace.
Towering Over Iconic Structures
To put its impressive height into perspective, here's how The Mukaab stacks up against some of the world's most famous landmarks:
- Eiffel Tower (Paris): Standing at 300 meters, The Mukaab will surpass it by 100 meters.
- Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italy): At just 55 meters, the difference is staggering.
- Empire State Building (New York): Slightly taller at 380 meters, but still shorter than The Mukaab.
- Sydney Opera House (Australia): Only 67 meters tall, making The Mukaab significantly taller.
- Faisaliah Tower (Riyadh): At 267 meters, it’s considerably shorter.
- Great Pyramid of Giza (Egypt): Measuring 139 meters, it falls well short of The Mukaab’s height.
Ambitious Vision for Riyadh
As part of the New Murabba project, it aims to become a central landmark in the city's development plans, showcasing Saudi Arabia's commitment to modernity and progress.
