Amazon e-commerce and cloud computing company revealed the design of its new building in the United States of America, which looked similar to the Malawy minaret in the city of Samarra in central Iraq, which was built during the reign of the Abbasid Caliph "Al-Mutawakkil Allah" in the year 237 AH.
Amazon said that the new building - designed in the shape of the Royal Minaret - will be the company's headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, which is a long-term investment, noting that it will provide 25,000 jobs and invest $ 2.5 billion over the next decade.
