The central tower, known as the Makkah Royal Clock Tower, holds the biggest clock face in the world. It is the fifth-tallest free-standing and third-largest structure in the world. Construction of what would become the world’s newest largest clock ended in 2012. All the clock’s four faces have a diameter of about 43 meters (141 feet) and are illuminated by about 2 million LED lights. The clock is on a 600-meter high (1,972 feet) complex with 120 floors."

"The Mehrab Uthmani, located near the center of the Masjid Nabawi's qibla wall, is the functional mehrab of the Prophet's mosque today. It is named after the Rashidun Caliph Uthman, although during his time there was no mehrab just a marker for the Imam to stand while leading prayers. It was sultan Qaitbey who first installed a proper curved mehrab topped with a semi-circular dome. It was reconstructed, renovated and decorated several times after that."

"This is Masjid al-Qiblatain (Arabic: مسجد القبلتين), translated as the “Mosque of the Two Qiblas”. In Rajjab 2 AH, the revelation of the Quranic verse came to change the direction of the Qibla from Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem to the Ka’bah in Makkah. Masjid al-Qiblatain is historically important to Muslims as it is the location where the first congregational salah was prayed following the change. "
