The mall houses over 4000 stores which feature a range of international brands, and its food court has many food outlets serving an array of cuisine such as Italian, Indian, fast food and more. Situated next to the Masjid Al Haram, the Abraj Al Bait Shopping Mall is visited by almost every pilgrim when in Makkah as it is a fantastic place to get some shopping done and to get a bite to eat. Currently the fourth tallest structure in the world, Abraj Al Bait is also the record holder for the tallest clock tower and the world’s largest clock face. We were running out of time hence we opted for day time, otherwise we would have gone for the night view.The Abraj Al Bait Towers, also known as the Makkah Royal Hotel Clock Tower, is a popular building complex in Makkah that is visited by many and is home to a five star hotel, a 5-storey shopping mall, an Islamic Museum, the Lunar Observation Center and a large prayer room.

However, the view during daytime and night time will be totally different so you need to decide. No reservations required but accoding to the front desk, the least visitors are at 1p,-3pm. I am not sure the operating hours outside of Ramadhan. During Ramadhan they opened at 1pm-6pm, and 10pm-2am. A total of 4 floors including the clock floor is opened for visit.

Every visitors will be provided a small (multi lingual) device which will narrate automatically once you reach every stations in the museum, according to the language selected. We were quite in a hurry so we took the normal tickets, and it was more than enough. A bit pricey, but the VIP comes with a guide and exclusive lounges. The 'normal' ticket is SR75 per pax, while VIP tickets are sold at SR150 per pax.
