At 43 m × 43 m (141 ft × 141 ft), these are the largest in the world. The highest residential floor stands at 370 m (1,210 ft), just below the media displays under the clock faces. The project uses clock faces for each side of the main hotel tower. The roof of the clocks is 450 m (1,480 ft) above the ground, making them the world's most elevated architectural clocks. In the spire base and the glass-covered floors (The Jewel) there is a scientific center which is used to sight the moon in the beginnings of the Islamic months, and to operate an atomic clock which controls the tower clocks. The Makkah clock tower is the tallest clock tower in the world. The Abraj Al-Bait Towers has a five-story shopping mall (the Abraj Al Bait Mall) and a parking garage capable of holding over a thousand vehicles.
The central hotel tower, the Makkah Royal Clock Tower, has the world's largest clock face and is the third-tallest building and fifth-tallest freestanding structure in the world.
These towers are a part of the King Abdulaziz Endowment Project that aims to modernize the city in catering to its pilgrims. It is a government-owned complex of seven skyscraper hotels in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The entire complex cost $15 billion to complete and can host over 100,000 people at a single time, the Abraj Al Bait is not only the tallest hotel ever built, with the clock tower centerpiece reaching a height of 1,300 feet.
