The Abraj-Al-Bait mall is a splendid 5 storey shopping complex with around 4000 stores that feature designer brands, local goods and restaurants.The complex features two prayer halls that can accommodate an excess of 10,000 worshippers who pray along with the Imam of al-Ka’bah.
The house of Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه, who was form the Banu Tayim, was located in this area. Historically, Al Hajlah was the centre of the Banu Tayim clan of the Quraysh during the time of the Prophet Muhammad صلي الله عليه وسلم. The Abraj-Al-Bait stands in the former Al Hajlah neighbourhood on the north-western boundary of Ajyad. Each tower houses five star hotels, which we aim to discuss in this post, residences, offices and shopping areas. The complex consists of 7 skyscrapers between 46 and 120 storeys high. The destruction of the historically significant site in 2002 by the Saudi government sparked an outcry and a strong reaction from Turkey.The Makkah Royal Clock Tower is part of the Abraj-Al-Bait (Towers of the House) complex, which stands on the South side of the Masjid Al-Haram. The complex was built after the demolition of the Ajyad Fortress, the 18th-century Ottoman citadel on top of a hill overlooking the Grand Mosque. It is the world's second most expensive building, with the total cost of construction totalling US$15 billion. The developer and contractor of the complex is the Saudi Binladin Group, the Kingdom's largest construction company. The building complex is 300 metres away from the world's largest mosque and Islam's most sacred site, the Great Mosque of Mecca.
