List of tallest buildings in Saudi Arabia

This list of tallest buildings in Saudi Arabia ranks the tallest buildings in Saudi Arabia by height. The tallest building in Mecca is the 601-meter megatall skyscraper, the Makkah Royal Clock Tower. It is the world's fourth tallest building and houses the Fairmont Makkah Clock Royal Tower Hotel. Over the past two decades, a high-rise construction boom has transformed the skyline. The Public Investment Fund Tower, completed in 2021, became Riyadh's tallest building at 385 meters. As a result, Riyadh is now the fourth city in the Middle East to have a significant number of skyscrapers, after Dubai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi. Since 2014, a total of 100 skyscrapers have been constructed in the city.^[1]
