I’m very surprised Tallest Building in the World has yet to comment on the Makkah Clock Tower Royal Hotel, the super-luxurious hotel currently under construction in Mecca.
Boasting the world’s largest clock (4.7 times larger than Big Ben) on each side, the 1,591 ft tall hotel will be among the world’s second tallest tower.
