World’s highest hanging prayer room opens in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia has set a new record with the opening of the world's highest hanging prayer room, as recognised by Guinness World Records.

Situated at a breathtaking 483 metres above sea level, the prayer room offers unparalleled views of the Kaaba and other significant religious landmarks in Mecca, reports Gulf News.

Nestled within the bridge connecting the two towers of the Address Jabal Omar Mecca Hotel, the prayer room can accommodate up to 520 worshippers in a spacious 550-square-metre area

It blends traditional Arabic designs with modern luxury.

Arabic calligraphy adorns its interiors, enhancing the room's sanctity with the names of Allah and reflecting the rich Islamic heritage.

Worshippers in this prayer hall are treated to a spiritual experience filled with peace and tranquillity. During Fajr prayers, they can witness the sunrise over Mecca, while the sunset bathes the chapel in warm.
