Shame it did not exceed 610 meters (2000ft) I think we are going to see quite a few buildings in the 2000ft club within a decade

"feet" is an american measure, thats why no one is considering breaking 2000ft saudi, we count by meters

I agree. Most, if not all, of the 2,000 footers built during this decade probably will be built in China.

-Workers look as ants working, nice to think about them
-Can you find an other way to point the crane man praying, a bit disterbing, not nice.
-With the adhan is ok, but the prayer song is not so well
-The date of the part 5 is wrong ''2011_07_20''...20 is impossible! ...it's 6!
-The title could be better...

Thanks Youssef!

It is appropriate that such a ginormous project would have big balls.

[jacks]

Well, this was a gaudy project from the start, but well done for doing something different! While I personally think this project is ugly and a bit inappropriate overlooking such an important site, I still have a lot to applaud about this building.
It has its own style (at least as far as supertalls go), the crown actually works with the size of the cluster of towers at the base, the clock tower is just in a league of its own and the overall attention to detail does a lot to stifle my initial view that the whole thing was tacky. It's a shame I will never get to see it in person.
The skinny Pearl Tower absolutely soared over everything else when I lived in Shanghai so my mind is boggled as to how dominant this much taller tower will appear in Mecca which has a much lower skyline.
Well done, and if we get a whole lot of imitators, this skyscraper nut will not be in the slightest unhappy:tup:

The Abraj Al Bait Towers is a building complex under construction (Completion 2008) in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It will be the largest (not tallest) building in the world by mass, the tallest building in Saudi Arabia, and one of the tallest buildings in the world at 577 m.

The site of the structure is across the street from the entrance to the Masjid al Haram, which houses the Kaaba, the holiest site in Islam. As a result, the Abraj Al Bait Towers will have a large prayer room capable of holding nearly four thousand worshippers. It will contain a five-star hotel to help accommodate the over two million pilgrims who participate in hajj each year.

In addition, the Abraj Al Bait Towers will have a four-story shopping mall and a parking garage capable of holding over eight hundred vehicles. Residential towers will house permanent residents while two heliports and a conference center are to accommodate business travellers. In total, up to 65,000 people would be housed inside the Towers.

The Makkah Royal Clock Tower will start ticking
officially on the first of Ramadan


By BADEA ABU AL-NAJA | ARAB NEWS

Published: Jul 30, 2011 22:51 Updated: Jul 30, 2011 23:02

MAKKAH:The Makkah Royal Clock Tower, the second tallest tower in the world, will start emitting 16 light beams to a height of 10 kilometers Sunday evening to announce the beginning of Ramadan.

The loud speakers installed at the top of the tower will carry the sound of adhan (call to prayer) from the Grand Mosque to seven kilometers far. The powerful lights in white and green blinking at the time of adhan can be seen from a distance of 30 kilometers. The lights are also helpful for people with hearing difficulties to know prayer times.

The clock face is white and indicators dark during daylight and green and white at night.

A trial run of the clock was held at the beginning of last year’s Ramadan.

The gigantic Makkah clock project was constructed on top of tower number five of King Abdul Aziz Endowment project, which consists of seven towers.

“All arrangements to receive Ramadan guests in the residential hotel, on which the clock tower is situated, have been completed. All rooms and suites have an Islamic style of interior décor that add to the spirituality of Ramadan,” director of telecommunications and business promotion at the Fairmont Raffles Hotels International in Makkah, Khaled Yamaq, said.

The Makkah Clock Tower Hotel, on which the clock is situated, is 601 meters high with 76 stories and 858 suites. It overlooks the Grand Mosque.

“A large number of pilgrims of different nationalities will be visiting the tower to get a close look at the interior of the clock tower. Therefore, the hotel’s main banquet hall has prepared to accommodate 1,000 guests for iftar (fast-breaking meal) and suhur (predawn meal before starting the fast). It comprises menus of 15 countries, including local dishes,” he said.

Ramadan cannon

A cannon will fire seven shots to mark the beginning of Ramadan in Makkah, the Saudi Press Agency said on Saturday. Shots will be fired throughout the month to announce the time of breaking the fast, the time for suhur and the end of the suhur.

The cannon will be positioned at the top of the highest hill, away from residential neighborhoods in Makkah, and is provided with sound-producing detonators. There are special security officers to take care of the cannon, which will be sent back to the store of the Tasks and Duties Administration in Makkah after the last shots announcing the arrival of Eid Al-Fitr. A total of 150 shots will be fired in the whole month.

In most Muslim countries, cannons are fired to announce the beginning of Ramadan and fast breaking time.

Mecca – Jama’an Al Kenani
The high clock of Mecca in the sky of the Holy Mosque is a prominent landmark with its green color for every welcomed visitor of the Holy Mosque. The clock that is elected to be the biggest work internationally can be seen from all Mecca neighborhoods, which makes it a distinguished aesthetic addition to the landmarks of Mecca with what it resembles of accurate geometric design where a selection of local and international engineers participated in creating it.

In some Islamic occasions such as the arrival of Hejri months and Eids, 16 thousand special vertical light bundles get lighted to more than 10 kilometers into the sky, where the strength of each light bundle reaches ten kilowatts. The prayer calling of the Holy Mosque will be transmitted live from the tip of Mecca clock through special speakers that will allow hearing the prayer calling of the Holy Mosque from around seven kilometers distance.

During the prayer calling, the top of Mecca clock gets lighted by 21,000 light lamps of bright white and green colors that can be seen of a distance the reaches 30 kilometers from the tower, pointing the approach of prayer time. Those light pointers also allow the disabled people such as those with weak hearing or those that are far away from the Holy mosques to know the prayer timing. The front of the clock is white with black pointers at daytime and green with white pointers in nighttime.
