The long champion of all things biggest, longest and most expensive, Dubai, will soon have some competition from neighbouring Saudi Arabia. The Jeddah Tower's height is poised to surpass Dubai's Burj Khalifa as the world's highest building.
What exactly is Jeddah Tower's height?
The project is currently underway and scheduled for completion in 2020. The Jeddah Tower's height will rise at least 3,280 feet when it's completed in 2020, making it the world's first to reach a full kilometer into the air. ( Dubai tour packages from Delhi)
