Skyscrapers only make sense when land is expensive and the only reasonable expansion is to build up. A 1 km skyscraper in a desert is absurd vanity.

Interesting that none of these Arab oil states has established a world class teaching/research hospital, a world class scientific research park, etc. All they build are mosques and monuments to their own vanity.
