Al Rajhi Bank Tower (
Arabic: برج الراجحي) is a 205-m commercial skyscraper in the al-Muruj neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The project was launched in 2006 and completed in 2017.[1] Designs for the sail-shaped tower have been drawn up by architects at Atkins. The tower is being built on behalf of the Al Rajhi
family and will be used for commercial purposes. The family, considered by most in Saudi Arabia, as the country's wealthiest non-royals, is among the world's leading philanthropists.
Plans have also been approved for the construction of a new tower to accommodate the
Abraj Al Bait Hotel Tower in Makkah. The top of the tower is similar to that of the Burj Al Arab in Dubai with a similar style of helipad
and observation area.
