Princess Hend bint Faisal Al-Qasimi of the UAE has a sizeable Twitter following and one of her most recent tweets is on the most expensive buildings in the world. And, guess what two of the top 10 are in Saudi \u2013 and not just any two in a list of ten, number 1 and 2 on the list are in Saudi.<\/p>\n

Any guesses?<\/p>\n

Hint: Both are in Makkah.<\/p>\n

The tweet by the princess who is also an architect shows that the Great Mosque in Makkah was built at a cost of a whopping $100 billion.<\/h2>\n

In fact, all the top 10 combined don\u2019t reach the construction cost the Great Mosque. This shows the amount of money Saudi Arabia has put into building, expanding and maintaining the holy mosque.<\/p>\n
