Actually i think of it the height of the Chilling plant alone is almoust tall enough to be the Tallest non observation tower in The city of Trondheim in Norway.
Where i grew up. if it was placed there.
seems like its about 15 floors from top to bottom maybe more

Abraj Albait project ... I had to wait almost more than 20 minutes for
a woman to finish talking to the person in charge. she ended up buying
3 apartments in the colck tower :nuts:
This building has grown on me. My first impression wasn't too great, and I thought it looked a bit out of place. But now that the site and area is in full swing, the building nearing completion; the opulence of the area is astounding. Incredible. I love it.
I wonder, has this building cased any controversy within the Islamic community in terms of some Muslims not feeling that such a large building is suitable right beside the Kabba, or that the building is too lavish? And if so, how such criticism has been accepted by other Muslims who are in support of the project? Has there been any debate on these issues by Muslims?
Though the renders indicate clocks on all sides, it doesn't look as if the back side is getting one. That's lame. What, the pilgrims on that side of the city aren't worthy of knowing what time it is? Or is it a half-baked cost-cutting measure on such an expensive and important project? I know that a massive complex is slated to be built right behind it, but the tower is still much taller than the complex will be.
By the way, why is the observation deck so tiny? I would think they would dedicate a large floor to the deck. The flow of pilgrims in that city is staggering. A large observation deck overlooking Islam's holiest site would make much more sense than that tiny, cramped one.

I don't believe the observation deck is intended to be a public one. More of one for VIP's and officials.

There are 2 observation decks, one on top of the spear and an other on the first floor of the clock. I don't think there restrictions , the top will be expensive I guess.
the clock on the Back is still under construction, the tower is not finished yet lecom there is No cost cutting ur in Saudi Arabia .
