These photos published on 3rd August in different Saudi Arabian newspapers, . Saudi Govt has invested a lot of money on making this tower. The income from this tower is said to be dedicated for Holy Kaaba. A lot of development done in Saudi Arabia during former Empror King Fahad’s time. Next to him King Abdullah also passed Big number of projects including KAUST (King Abdulaziz University of Science and Technology), The only university of its kind in Saudi Arabia.
The Makkah Royal Tower that has world’s biggest analogue clock fixed on its top and it is also Second Tallest Building in the World after Burj Khalifa of Dubai is planned to open in the month of Ramadan.

I am sure this huge project consumed huge money, I can’t say if it was worth that or million of Muslims world-wide who are dying of hunger and poverty could be a better worth of that money.

I dont like it at all, may Allah put sense into Saudi’s not build such things in the holy cities.
Ali bro
This was in Hadees, that in near future Badoo’s (Arab villagers) will construct tallest buildings. This is the sign of Day of Judgement.

I agree with you on this…they should have put the money to better use, but then again, they have so they can do what they want.
On the other hand, it always boggles me when I think about certain things taking place in Islamic countries and why Saudi never has a voice.
Just look at Palestine, where are the Saudis on this matter? What are they doing to make things a tad bit better?
And, of course, poor Pakistan, where is Saudi on that?
As the country named as the holy site for Muslims, they surely do not favour Muslims outside of Saudi.
Thank you Aabida, What you pointed, cannot be denied, however they are good in many cases also. They have given a big charity to Pakistani flood victims. 🙂
