The Mecca Royal Clock Tower is hard to ignore. At over 600m tall, some consider it a marvel of engineering but others fear the opulent commercialisation of a religious site. As tradition and modernity collide, the late King Abdullah showed a determination to put pilgrims first. "This is Mecca, no work is to be done here" he said. "The most important thing to me is that spirituality is preserved".
