 Makkah Clock's

Makkah Clock's, tallest clock tower in the world, is in Makkah City, Saudi Arabia. It was ranked a second to the highest clock building in the world, Big Ben. It is located close to the Holy Mosque, the destination of all Muslims in the world. It was built in 2011, and it was risen over the earth's surface by 601 km. And, it was surrounded by seven higher towers. They were called Abraj AL bait, so they called Holy Mosque towers. It launches 16 green laser light up 10 km in the sky. It can be seen from a distance of over 30 km from the tower. It is turned off at Islamic events, such as Eid and prayer time. This is a signal to enter the time to prayer. Also, that helps the deaf to know the time of entry of prayer. The laser light comes from a crescent-shaped plat form on the top. The clock has four square windows, and the space for each one is 40 x 400 m. It has a white background, and black hands. In the center, there is a Saudi logo, two  gold swords and a gold palm. At night, it set alight by a green background, white clock hands and white logo. In short, Makkah Clock is one of the most amazing building in the world.
