Do you know what is inside the Crescent of Makkah Clock Tower?
What is the cost? It is said about the construction of the Makkah clock tower, that the financial implication that was occurred to construct this huge tower was estimated to be somewhere around US$ 1000 million or 1 billion.
The clocks which have been placed on each side of the tower have a surface area of 43 meters each. It is estimated that each hand of the clock weighs in at a whopping 1.5 metric tons.
LED Lights: The tower gets even more beautiful at night when all the LED lights placed all along the length of the tower illuminated. It is estimated that 2 million LEDs are placed all over the tower and it lights up the sky once the lights have been turned on. The light from this tower can be seen from around 17 kilometers away.
