ABRAJ AL BAIT

I am totally smitten by this statuesque  called Abraj Al-Bait Towers, also known as the Mecca Royal Hotel Clock Tower in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. These towers strives to modernize the city in catering to its pilgrims. And my eternal love for alpine buildings makes it one of the best destinations of my visit to this sacred land.
Oh yes most importantly The complex holds several world records,
•The tallest clock tower in the world. •The world's largest clock face.
•The complex's hotel tower became the second tallest building in  world in 2012, surpassing Taiwan's Taipei 101, and is currently the third tallest building in the world, surpassed only by Dubai's Burj Khalifa and Shanghai's Sh the anghai Tower.

The building complex is metres away from the world's largest mosque Masjid al-Haram which means that just like me
you can hop in and out of the building whenever you want to. In between the intervals of two salaah's you can go and shop inside the complex. It deals in almost everything. You get food of various countries, dates, prayer mats etc etc at very reasonable price with the scope of bargaining too, but i would suggest you should take some bargaining tips from my mamma she's just too good at it.
And oh of course it also serves as the best destination to shop from brands like ALDO, ESPIRIT, MILANO, ACCESSORIZE, STEVE MADEN and many more.. Don't bargain here lol. And also for the food they have KFC, SBARRO, HARDEES, my favourite STARBUCKS, BASKIN ROBBINS, BURGER KING and a lot more. And also we have two three restaurants serving indian as well as pakistani food.
I am going to miss this place a lot for I have spent a lot of time here. Also I am in much Afsos for not carrying my camera with me but still took some pictures from the phone, take a look at them too :)
So whenever you come to Mecca don't forget to visit this place and shop khul ke.
And remember me in your prayers.

P.s: Sorry I am late for this post but it seemed to have drowned in the sea of drafts that I own. Found it today so published. Happy reading :)
