This large structure extends over eight lanes of traffic plus a wide center highway divider. It is in the shape of an enormous bookstand holding an open book which is the Koran. The large sides of the bookstand are filled with colored glass windows in blue and green. This impressive sculpture is located right before one enters Makkah from the west on the road from Jeddah. Only Muslims are supposed to enter Islam’s holy cities of Makkah and Madinah.
