This is really cool. Do you happen to have a list of the tallest skyscrapers in Africa along with where they are located and any potential pictures of what they look like?

Yep, quick shortlist: The Leonardo in Johannesburg, South Africa at 234 m, Iconic Tower in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital at about 394 m, Mohammed VI Tower in Salé near Rabat,.
