Makkah Clock Hour .. The Biggest In The World

Saudi Arabia is hoping that the debut of what is said to be the world's largest clock in Islam's holiest city of Mecca will help establish the city as an alternative time standard to the Greenwich meridian.

The Highest and The Biggest clock in the world is close to ALMASJID ALHARAM in MECCA. It is 45m long and 43 width... you can know the time at a distance of 17km when lit at night and 12km during the day

With the global population of Muslims growing at a rapid rate, the building project is part of the Saudi government's plan to enable Mecca to accommodate as many as 10 million pilgrims each year. And for Mecca residents, the plan already seems to be successful.
