Let’s talk big and by that I mean BIG. Abraj Al Bait Hotel Tower is a Colossos! Best of all? It’s UC!

Moscow or Mecca? Pirogue or falafel?

They say some people can move a mountain and considering the suspiciously alike Lenin-Moscow-Seven-Sister-Tower-Design makes you think but I can once and for all make clear: This Mothaf*cker moves nowhere. In terms of mass is it the largest building in the world!

It’s already well under construction and when completed in 2008 will it not only function as a hotel but also as home to 65 000 lucky residents. Amazing!The hotel is ofcourse five star and you can see the great location with the Mosque up in the front on the picture. Until The Burj Dubai get’s topped out is it te tallest skyscraper of the Middle-East! Now I’m heading over to google to try to dig up some UC pictures for you. Bye.
