Facilities at Makkah Royal Clock Tower Complex The top 200m of the clock tower is clad with fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite panels. In addition, a 23m-high crescent made of fibreglass-backed mosaic gold is mounted at the top of the tower.
The tower features a 71m-tall spire above the clock, raising the building height to 601m above ground. The clock faces are adorned with intricate Arabic calligraphy visible from a great distance and are illuminated by roughly two million LED lights for clear visibility both during the day and at night. The 43m×43m clock is the world’s largest clock face. The clock tower weighs 36,000t and is 251m-tall from the base of the clock to the top of the crescent structure.
The Makkah Royal Clock Tower Hotel is a 120-storey structure and is both the tallest hotel and the tallest clock tower in the world.
