When it is completed this year, the Royal Clock Tower Hotel will for some time be the second highest building in the world. The tower resembles London’s Big Ben, but is six times as high as the original. Floor area: 1.5 km², 96 floors and a 601 metre high clock tower as the crowning touch. The hotel and luxury residential complex Abraj al-Bait, also known as “Royal Clock Tower Hotel”, is being constructed right in the centre of the city.
Mecca is not just Islam’s holiest city, but at present also one of the largest building sites in the world.
