come on SAUDI ARABIA,u can do better than that
.......wake up...this is 21st century,not 16th century.U could have built that tower in a unique style...........But this 1 looks like a "TAJ MAHAL" type from the old ages.........
But the only thing good about this "WATER TOWER" is that its situated on a MAN MADE ISLAND & it posses a "REVOLVING RESTURANT" at the top.......so this means,v can go inside............

actually the tower is very beautiful considering it being a water tower....

it would have been better if u had taken sum pics of the tower (in details) rather than uploading the one which already exists (of its kind)............

I agree with K.S.A lover.
We can do better than this.
