Saudi Gazette report

MAKKAH — The Clock Towers Center in Makkah is now home to the world’s largest barbershop, designed and operated to international standards to provide a fast and seamless grooming experience for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.

The project is part of a broader plan to develop the central barbershop zone, aimed at enhancing service quality in the area surrounding the Grand Mosque.

The barbershop features 170 chairs and can serve more than 15,000 pilgrims daily in its initial phase, with each service taking an average of just three minutes.

This high capacity and efficiency reflect the operation’s exceptional standards and speed.

This development is part of ongoing efforts to elevate services for visitors to the holy city, aligned with a comprehensive vision to boost Makkah’s readiness and integrate with major nearby developments such as the Masar project, Jabal Omar, and Thakher Makkah.
