[edit] Erroneous Material

Unless a reliable citation can be found for the claim that the Abraj Al Bait towers final mass will be the greatest in the world, I vote that it be removed, as I cannot possibly believe that these commercial towers will have a greater mass than, say, the Great Pyramid. - Campanile 21:57, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

You're definitely right; I put the fact tags a while ago, and sources have been given, so the information can now be removed. Raime 22:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding recent height changes

Recently, there has been some editing indicating that the height of the tallest tower will now rise to 595 m and 101 stories. This may very well be true; please do not regard my recent reverting of edits to mean that I think it is untrue information or vandalism. However, the reference used in the article supports the 577 m height of this building. If the height has been increased, then a new ref is needed to support this new, speculative statement. Until then, this should remain as is. Thanks, Rai-me 20:18, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-Muslims

Why have Non-Muslims no access to the Abraj Al Bait Towers? --88.78.243.211 (talk) 19:03, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

huh? because it's located next to religious site in a city with religious significance? What would be Non-Muslims doing in Mecca? OneGuy (talk) 20:51, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clock?

Looking at the official site, it doesn't appear as if the clock is a design element anymore. Can someone confirm that this is the case?--C.Logan (talk) 13:22, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
