ABOVE MECCA
The city of Mecca, in Sau-
di Arabia, is the holiest
site in the religion of Is-
lam. Non-Muslims are
prohibited from entering
the city, and each year,
15 million pilgrims make
the trip to worship. The
tower is the Makkah Royal
Clock Tower, part of Abraj
Al-Bait, a complex of
skycraper hotels for wor-
shippers to stay in. The
clock tower is one of the
tallest buildings in the
world, and it sports the
largest clock face, meas-
uring 43 metres across.
