I forgot if somebody did it before me in the (Middle East and Africa),
if it happened just forgive me.

The first Skyscraper in Saudi Arabia owned by Bin Mahfoz. The tower is
122m/ 400ft and has 27 floors. It was bult in 1983

If you are interested to see the Saudi TV commercial of the bank simply
go to the site http://www.alahli.com and look in the left at the icon that
looks like TV and you can watch it. I think it is interesting to non-Saudi
people.

As old as it gets, still remains an icon.

Kingdom tower is (a lot) taller. But NCB held the top spot for decades. Still a classic iconic building.

It's indeed a wonderful building but it's about time that Jeddah gets a new unique land mark.
