Abraj Al-Bait Towers

The Clock Towers Complex – Makkah in Monuments category

The Abraj Al-Bait Towers are a massive complex of skyscrapers located in the city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, near the Masjid al-Haram, the holiest site in Islam. These towers were constructed as part of a large-scale development project in Mecca and consist of seven towers, with the central one being the main structure known as the Mecca Clock Tower. This clock is four times larger than Big Ben in London, and its design draws inspiration from Islamic architecture.

 

The Abraj Al-Bait Towers are not only remarkable for their architecture and towering height but also play a crucial role in meeting the needs of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims. The complex includes luxury hotels, shopping malls, conference halls, and modern amenities capable of accommodating thousands of visitors. These towers are seen as a symbol of Mecca's modernization and play a vital role in providing services to the millions of Muslims who travel to the city each year.
