A group of investors, led by AlHo9eini group, intend to build a landmark hotel/commercial tower in the centre of Jeddah.
Integral to the design of the tower is a massive arch that would be the largest in the world. The arch will be oriented towards Mecca forming a Mihrab.
The tower will be built on a 9000 sq. meter plot, close to historical district of Jeddah. The tower will be 50 storeys high and visible from all over Jeddah. A 5 star hotel and a mall would occupy the first 7 floors, and 33 floors will be allocated as office space. The project is estimated at 280 million SR.

Hijazzey,
Could this be the same as the blue rendering of an arch looking tower in Jeddah and we thought it's Jeddah business center or so?

Possibly. Our local press is incompetent enough to mix them up
