Actually Saudi Arabia allows western tourists into the country since two years ago. But you have to travel in a group and the annual number of tourist visas is pretty limited. So pretty much the same as with North Korea, which also allows tourists these days.

I would assume that the spire and the clock alone make up for 200-250m of that building, so you have only 320-370m of habitable height left and 76 floors is quite common for such a height.
