Hanging Prayer Space in Mecca enters Guinness Book

Guinness World Records has officially recognized the “Hanging Prayer Space” as the highest of its kind, setting a global standard in excellence.

 

This architectural phenomenon reflects a unique style, offering visitors panoramic views of Mecca’s religious landmarks. These include the sacred Masjid al-Haram and the Kaaba, providing a vibrant backdrop during the Umrah and Hajj seasons.

Perched within a bridge connecting two hotel towers, the prayer space is situated 483 meters above sea level and 179 meters above the internal road level. Accordingly, this record-breaking height makes it the world’s tallest suspended prayer area.

Additionally, it’s part of the upper floors of the Address Hotel Jabal Omar Mecca, directly facing the revered Masjid al-Haram.
