Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Saudi Arabia to
build world's tallest tower that will reach one kilometer into the sky
Are humans still
in a race to show off something bigger, taller or costlier than others,
particularly to the neighbors? To have the tallest and the most expensive
building seems attracting enough to spend over one billion dollars to a rich
royal family in Arabia.
The construction
of this a-kilometer-high sky scraper began in April in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and
is expected to be completed in 2019. There will be 59 high-speed elevators,
five of them are double-deckers, to connect 167 floors. The view from its
observatory deck at 500 meters above ground will be spectacular, overlooking
the Red Sea and desert.
Which view would
you like to enjoy, the one from the world tallest building in Jeddah or the
second tallest one in Dubai?
Enjoy reading and
learning about the kingdom’s ambitious plan and race.
