The Makkah Royal Clock Tower, part of the Abraj Al Bait complex, rises right beside the Masjid al-Haram and is one of the tallest and most recognisable buildings in the world. Its huge clock face can be seen from many parts of Makkah, and at night the tower is lit up and visible from far away. In one visit you can stay in a hotel within the complex, shop and eat in the mall, and be just minutes from the Kaaba.

For Pakistani travellers, the Clock Towers are a convenient base for Umrah. Hotels in the complex and nearby are close to the Haram, with direct and easy walking access, a wide choice of restaurants including Pakistani and South Asian food, and shops for prayer items, dates, perfumes and gifts. The complex also has facilities that many visitors enjoy, such as a museum, and our team confirms what is open during your visit.
The most popular route is the classic combination of Umrah, prayers at the Masjid al-Haram and a stay at the Clock Towers, along with Makkah Ziyarat and a visit to Madinah. If you have more time, you can add Jabal al-Noor and the Cave of Hira, Jabal Thawr, Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina, or extra days of worship and reflection.

Makkah
The Clock Towers are usually part of a stay in Makkah rather than a trip on their own. A trip of 4 to 7 days is ideal for Umrah, prayers at the Haram and some time at the complex. If you want to add Madinah or Ziyarat, plan 8 to 12 days.
Let SaffarGuru handle your visa guidance, flights, hotels and local arrangements, so you can focus on your ibadah at Masjid al-Haram without the stress.
