The Al Faisaliyah Centre (or Al Faisaliah Centre, Arabic: برج الفيصلية) is a commercial skyscraper located in the business district of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Designed by Foster + Partners, it is the first skyscraper built in Saudi Arabia, and is presently the fourth tallest building in Saudi Arabia after the Kingdom Centre, Burj Rafal and Abraj Al Bait.[3] It is also called Star Dome.[4] The center ranked as the 325 tallest in the world, and the 6th tallest in Saudi Arabia.[5] The round portion at the top of Faisaliah Center is a restaurant called “The Globe”. The Globe is one of the premier restaurants in Saudi Arabia and has 360 degree views that make it unique.
