The Makkah Royal Clock Tower is the central hotel tower of The Clock Towers, a government owned hotel complex of seven skyscrapers in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, built as part of the King Abdulaziz Endowment Project to modernize the city for its pilgrims. It is the fourth tallest building and sixth tallest freestanding structure in the world, and Guinness World Records lists it as the tallest clock tower in the world, with the largest clock faces anywhere. The complex of seven towers as a whole is the second most expensive building ever constructed, and the top four floors of the clock tower house the Clock Tower Museum.
