The Abraj Al-Bait Towers, also
known as the Mecca (or Makkah) Royal Hotel Clock Tower, is a building complex
in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The complex holds
several world records, the tallest clock tower in the world and the world's
largest clock face. It also looks strikingly similar to England’s Parliament clock tower in London (sometimes called Big Ben). Replicas
and photos of Japan's Tokyo Tower are also commonly confused with the France's
Eiffel tower. The same could be said of the Blackpool Tower in England and the
King’s Dominion Tower in Virginia. The Al Kazim Towers in Dubai look like a double set of Chrysler buildings. The complex has
two 53-floor towers in Dubai Media City in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Both
towers, completed in early 2008, have an equal total structural height of 265
meters (869 ft) and resemble New York City's Chrysler Building. In South
Korea, a building's design became controversial because its resembled exploding
Twin Towers. The duel towers are connected in the middle by what they call “a pixelated cloud” that many believe look like the World Trade Center exploding
when the two planes hit on 9/11. Can you think of other
buildings that look similar to each other?
