A lot of this style of buildings are springing up in Medina. It's good as it provides more facilities to the people visiting especially for religious purposes. I'd take it that it's near the Prophet's Mosque?

Madina has really nice and unique style of buildings around the holy mosque. I heard once that the reason for having a limit of high rise building to 16 floors (I think) is to make sure that these buildings would not block the seen of the holy mosque's minarates.

Hijazzy,
Do you have any pictures of the area around the holy mosque?

I love this glassy box. Reminds me of Jewelry Center in Jeddah dose it? :D.

Hijazzy,

I do, but I don't have them handy. They're on my desktop computer which is packed up while we do renovations in the house (I'm working off a laptop right now). I'm pretty sure Majed's got a few.
