Thank you Arwa and last but not the least Chief Concierge - Imran Khan - who printed the boarding cards with smile. Special mentions to thank for their kind support and assistance to make my stay a very special one to remember for long time - starting from Ridhwan Mohamed for booking, Arwa Alahmadi to ensure the best room available, welcome fruit, Arabic Ghawa dates, sweets plenty of drinking water, breakfast at 29th floor restaurant and constant inquiry by her staff and herself for any thing more to make the stay more comfortable. This opinion is based on my stays with almost all the nearby hotels in past.
Time is short and the schedule is fixed.The nearest hotel to Haram, full view of Kaaba from its prayer area and most of rooms, comfort, cleanses, food in its restaurants and on top of all it's great staff makes it the best hotel of Makkah. How do you keep the structure as light as possible? And how do you deal with the toughest logistical challenge of all: a construction site out of bounds to everyone but Muslims. As the pressure mounts, the team battle to construct the world’s largest clock at dizzying heights and in racing winds. The team enters the project with a high-rise building already under construction, a tower not designed to support a 150-meter-high clock tower and a strict weight limit of 82,000 tons. Together with its partners, the architecture firm SL Rasch in Germany faces some unusual challenges. At the end of construction it is clear that the building at the center of the sacred site breaks over 30 world records. The minute hand measures 23 meters in length and its giant clock face is 43 meters in diameter – therefore this gigantic clock tower is 35 times larger than Big Ben. It is a construction project full of superlatives: the world’s largest tower clock in Mecca, the Holy City of Islam. Explore the engineering breakthroughs and fascinating story behind the design and construction of the world`s largest clock tower.
