Hey guys..!
I supposed that you have known that in our world, there are so many big clocks that have been built. One of them is Big Ben. Up to 2010 clock is still renowned as the largest clock in the world that have been aged hundreds of years, even though for hundreds of years it has been built many clocks that is greater than Big Ben.
But the latest one, was very special for me and also for all Muslim people in this world, that is Abraj Al Bait Towers clock or also known as the "Mecca Royal Clock Hotel Tower". The clock became a separate symbol for the Muslims. I think this is a very special clock towers ever.
Where, the clock which was built in Mecca, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, can stand majestic in the midst of a barren area. The building holds and will break several world records in the construction world, including: the tallest hotel in the world, constructed with the tallest clock tower in the world and displaying the world's largest clock face, the world's largest building floor area, and will become the second tallest building in the world upon completion, surpassed only by Dubai's Burj Khalifah. The building complex is meters away from the world's largest mosque and Islam's most sacred site, the Masjid al Haram.
Fortunately, when I went there to umroh, my hotel was beside the Abraj Al Bait Towers. So I could saw the clock with my own eyes.
My Dad told me, that according to some information, there are some experts who propose to move the center of world time from Greenwich to the mecca. Because according to them, astronomically, the true center of world time was in Mecca. But we do not know if it's true or false. So we can only follow the development of information only.
Ok.. I think that's first for today.
I'm start getting tired because of to long in front of computer.
If you think this is necessary and you want to know more about this, you can just leave a comment for me.. Thank you :)
