Discover an unforgettable experience in the heart of Mecca.
Begin your experience at the Clock Tower Museum, where you’ll explore four floors of interactive, high-tech exhibits detailing the fascinating human journey to measure time. Discover how ancient civilizations, especially in the Islamic world, used celestial bodies (The Sun, Earth, and Moon) to track time, culminating in a close-up look at the intricate mechanisms and design of the colossal Makkah Clock itself.
Enjoy a unique visit to the Makkah Clock Tower Museum, one of Mecca's most iconic landmarks and part of the renowned Abraj Al Bait complex. Located 480 meters above the Grand Mosque, the museum offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Holy Kaaba and its surroundings.
The museum provides an interactive and educational journey through astronomy, timekeeping, the history of Mecca, and the development of the Grand Mosque area. It is an ideal destination for visitors of all ages seeking a meaningful spiritual and scientific experience.
Located on the 47th floor, the museum spans the top four floors of the tower, directly behind the massive clock face. Beneath the clock's base, a panoramic terrace offers a safe viewing platform overlooking the Grand Mosque from a height of 480 meters. Telescopes are available for enhanced viewing.
Due to the tower's central location and the potential for crowds, advance booking is highly recommended to avoid waiting times.
