Mystery tower

This tower is on the outskirts of Riyadh, possibly on the campus of a religious university whose gates I photographed. From a distance I thought it was a water tower, but looking at it now, I’m not sure what it is.

It looks like an air traffic control tower. Strange that it is in an university. It's a fascinating structure. V

Maybe a combination of a water tower and communication. Looks gigantic.
