Your walking tour of Arrakis must include this approach across the dunes to the Grand Palace at Arrakeen. The highest residential floor stands at 450 metres (1,480 feet), just below the clocks. The project uses clock faces for each side of the hotel tower. In total, up to 100,000 people could be housed inside the towers. Residential towers house permanent residents while two heliports and a conference center are to accommodate business travelers. In addition, 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 tallest tower in the complex also contains a five-star hotel to help provide lodging for the millions of pilgrims that travel to Mecca annually to participate in Hajj. To accommodate worshipers visiting the Kaaba, the Abraj Al-Bait Towers has a large prayer room capable of holding more than 10,000 people. The site of the complex is located across the street to the south from an entrance to the Masjid al Haram mosque, which houses the Kaaba. The developer and contractor of the complex is the Saudi Binladin Group, the Kingdom's largest construction company.
The building complex is meters away from the world's largest mosque and Islam's most sacred site, the Masjid al Haram. The complex's hotel tower became the second tallest building in the world in 2011, surpassed only by Dubai's Burj Khalifa.
The complex holds several world records, such as the tallest hotel in the world, the tallest clock tower in the world, the world's largest clock face, and the world's largest building floor area. The Abraj Al-Bait Towers, also known as the Mecca Royal Hotel Clock Tower, is a building complex in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
