Saudi Arabia to Build World's Tallest Tower by Kiyanna Elliott

Dubai's iconic Burf Khalifa, the world's tallest building, could loses its title to the Kingdom Tower in Jeddah if Saudi Arabia succeeds in building it. The Kingdom Tower, estimated to cost $1.23 billion, would have 200 floors and overlook the Red Sea. To build it will require about 5.7 million square feet of concrete and 80,000 tons of steel.

Some one is always trying to beat some one out of a record holding. At least we get to see the process of the construction of the building and all the errors and difficulties.
