Which are the tallest buildings in the world?

This is what the tower (being built by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture) will look like when it's finished

Skyscrape fans are getting excited as there's soon going to be a new tallest building on the block.

The Jeddah Tower is being built in Saudi Arabia, and when it is finished, it will stand an incredible 1000 metres (3,281ft) tall.

This will make it almost 200 metres taller than any other building in the world.

But which are the giant buildings it'll beat - and have you actually seen any of them? If so head to the comments and let us know.

Burj Khalifa

The Jeddah Tower is set to overtake the current top dog, the Burj Khalifa.

It's in Dubai, and is 828m (2,716 ft 6 in) tall.

For context, that's as tall as three Eiffel towers!

Not only has it held the record for tallest building, it also set the following records: Tallest elevator in a building (504m; 1,654 ft); most floors in a building (163); and highest restaurant from ground level (441.3m; 1,447 ft 10 in)

Merdeka 118

Found in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, this skyscraper stands at 679 metres (2227 ft) and, as its name suggests, it has 118 floors.

It was built as a symbol of Malaysian independence, and was apparently designed to look like the first Malaysian Prime Minister declaring independence in 1957.

For an idea of it's height, it's as tall as as seven Statues of Liberty stacked on top of one another.

Shanghai Tower

China's tallest building opened in 2016, claiming to be the world's most environmentally-friendly skyscraper.

For example, it houses 200 wind turbines on its roof, which contributes to the electricity the building uses.

It's 632 metres (2073 ft) tall, which is taller than six Big Bens!

Makkah Royal Clock Tower

This hotel and apartment building in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, was finished in 2012 and stands at 601 m / 1,972 ft.

It may not be the tallest building, but it can boast being the tallest clock tower in the world.

It's estimated to have cost $16 billion (£9.8 billion) to build.

Ping An Finance Center

Back to China and the Ping An Finance Center in Shenzhen, Guangdong.

It's 599m (1965 ft) tall and has 115 floors.

It's in the middle of its financial district and is primarily used for offices.

But there is an observation deck that people can go up to for views of the city.

Lotte World Tower

Next on our list is a trip to the South Korean capital city of Seoul.

The Lotte World Tower goes up is 555 metres (1819 ft) and has 123 floors.

It's the tallest building in South Korea, and is used for many big occasions, such as fireworks shows at New Year.

One World Trade Center

And our final stop is the One World Trade Centre in New York.

Built in 2014, it stands at 541m / 1,776 ft tall.

It was built at Ground Zero, the site where the twin towers were hit by a plane on the 11th of September 2001, otherwise known as 9/11.

Honourable mentions

Empire State Building (left) and the Shard (right)

The Empire State Building is probably one of the most iconic buildings in the entire world.

It was an amazing feat of engineering when it was built in 1931 - it took just 410 days to complete.

It may not be the tallest building in the world, but did you know it holds the title for world's most photographed building?

The Shard is the tallest building in the UK.

However at 309.6 metres (1016 ft), it's still only less than half the size of the Burj Khalifa.
