Abraj Al-Bait Towers

One of the most recognizable landmarks in the city of Makkah, the Abraj Al-Bait or “Towers of the House” consists of seven skyscraper hotels owned by the government. This complex is part of the King Abdulaziz Endowment Project that was created to help modernize the holy city of Makkah to cater to Hajj and Umrah pilgrims better.

The Abraj Al-Bait is just a few meters away from the Great Mosque of Makkah and its most distinct symbol is the Makkah Royal Clock Tower, which has the largest clock face in the world. It is also the third tallest building and the fifth tallest free-standing structure anywhere.
