To book a complete Umrah package, check out our post on MQAM certified hotels.Looking for something affordable? We have showcased some of the best budget-friendly hotels near the Masjid Al-Haram.Check out our article on even more hotels within walking distance of the Masjid Al-Haram.That spectacle has been lost since by large hotels and projects like the Abraj-Al Bait. To people like myself, who lived near Makkah in the 1980s and the 1990s, this commercial development, which is on a scale larger than the Great Mosque itself, has been distressing.Īt one time, when we used to drive from Al Hindawiyyah, we would see the Masjid al-Haram from top of Jabal Omar, before driving down and right up to King Abdul Aziz Gate. Visitors can also access the balcony at the top of the tower and take in the breath-stealing views of Al-Ka’bah and the Masjid Al-Haram The museum tells the story of the universe and the story of the construction of the tower itself. There is a museum and observatory near the top of the clock tower.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 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.
