A hazy look at the Makkah Clock Tower, tallest & largest clock tower in the world (601 meters), under the Arabian sun.

The clock tower stands in the center of a high-rise complex called Abraj Al-Bait. Six smaller high-rises surround it at heights varying and accommodate both residential and hotel uses. True to its name, four colossal clock faces are mounted near the top of the tower. These clocks hold the record for both the largest and highest in the world. At night, the clock faces are illuminated by one million LED lights that transform the tower into a green and white beacon. Writing is inscribed above each clock, with the words “God is the Greatest” on the north and south sides, while the Koran adorns the east and west sides. The spire of the tower features a spherical observation center at its base. The spire is capped with a shining mosaic gold crescent that weighs 35 metric tons. A number of cultural amenities are present in the upper levels of the tower, including a center for lunar observation and a cosmology museum.

Top Al Shubaikah Hotel Reviews

Swissôtel Al Maqam Makkah

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and the location was perfect."

Swissôtel Makkah

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were amazing. They were clean and very well maintained. I saw people constantly cleaning and employees always asked if we needed anything. The breakfast was plentiful. They had ample food and there was never a shortage of staff to clear our plates and cups. My suggestion would be that during breakfast the food should be warmer. It’s usually lukewarm at best. Also more water stations. The breakfast area is very large and to get a refill of water was troublesome. The only water was at the juice station. "
