Abraj Al-Bait Towers

These towers are found in Mecca, Saudi Arabia in the proximity of the Ka'aba, which is the holiest site in the Islamic religion. The largest of these towers is currently the third tallest building in the world topping out at around 600 meters. The clock at the very top is also the largest of its kind in the world,and the face of the clock is visible from 25 kilometers away.

This building stands as a monument to the progress of which my country is accomplishing at this point. It is a marvel of engineering and has artistic qualities that give the holy city of Mecca the reverence it requires.
