Building for the masses

The holy city of Makkah is home to the world’s largest mosque, the Masjid Al Haram. The mosque can hold up to 600 000 people and is currently undergoing expansion to increase the total size to accommodate an additional one million people.

The Makkah Clock Royal Tower Hotel project provides high quality accommodation and recreation for visitors to the Masjid Al Haram, situated directly adjacent to the hotel. The structure is made up of seven towers, which all rest upon a 15-story podium that includes a retail area. The three towers on either side of the clock tower are between 200 and 300 metres tall. The clock tower stands at 601 metres. In one of its grandest undertakings, KONE delivered a People Flow® solution like no other.

Testimonial iconThere is nothing that comes even close to the people flow challenge in Makkah, explains Tarek Elnaggar from KONE. “When you are in the mosque during peak times, all you see are rivers of people going up or down the escalators, before and after prayers.
