The Abraj Al Bait Towers is a building complex under construction in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Upon completion, the tallest tower in the complex would stand as the tallest building in Saudi Arabia and one of the tallest buildings in the world with a planned height of 593 m (1,946 ft).[1] If all seven towers are grouped together as one building, the structure would have the largest floor area of any structure in the world with 15.6 million square feet of floorspace. This is more than 4 million square feet larger than The Venetian Macau, which is the current world record holder.[2] The entire project is estimated to be completed in 2009.

The site of the complex is located across the street from the entrance to the Masjid al Haram, which houses the Kaaba, the holiest site in Islam. To accommodate worshipers who visit the Kaaba, the Abraj Al Bait Towers will have a large prayer room capable of holding nearly four thousand people. The tallest tower in the complex will also contain a five-star hotel to help provide lodging for the over two million pilgrims who travel to Mecca annually to participate in hajj.

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 travelers. In total, up to 65,000 people would be housed inside the towers.[citation needed] The project will use four clock faces for each side of the Hotel tower, including 2 main clocks that are 80 meters high 65 meters wide. The other two clocks will be located 65 meters high, with an approximate width of 34 meters. The highest clock will be located 380 meters high, which would make it the world's highest clock.[citation needed]
