The Clock Towers (Abraj Al-Bait Towers) in Makkah is a monumental complex featuring luxury hotels, shopping malls, and the iconic Makkah Royal Clock Tower. The complex is highly accessible and can be explored solo for free, though visiting the Clock Tower Museum (on the higher floors) typically requires a ticket costing around 150-200 SAR, with a recommended visit duration of 1.5-2 hours. While there are no seasonal restrictions, summer months bring extreme heat, and the complex becomes exceptionally crowded during Hajj and Umrah (especially Ramadan), impacting accessibility and wait times. Modest dress is mandatory for all visitors, and the museum offers unparalleled panoramic views of the Grand Mosque and the Kaaba, providing a unique spiritual and historical insight.
