Location Summary
Makkah Clock Fairmont Hotel Tower stands out modestly and respectfully as Makkah's second mark of distinction with an outstanding clock that can be seen from 17 kilometers away. It’s located in the heart of Makkah, adjacent to The Holy Mosque. Makkah is the holiest city in Islam and it has a very special place in every Muslim's heart. It’s where the Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was born and right from the caves of its mountains received the divine orders from Allah (The Sacred and The Mighty) through the archangel Gabriel (Peace Be Upon Him) to start calling people for Islam.

It lies approximately inland 73 kilometers east of Jeddah. Therefore, it's officially served by Saudi Arabia's main seaport on the Red Sea and Jeddah's International Airport as well. That Holy City, which witnessed a major turn in the history of religion, has a population of over 1.7 million of a very diversified Muslim culture since it's closed to Non-Muslims. During the last 1400 years, it has turned from a very important crossroad point for the caravans into a vibrant and lively city.

Makkah is also known as Umm Al-Qura (The Origin of the Cities), Al-Balad Al-Ameen (The Secure City) and Al-Balad Al-Haram (The Sacred City).
