Cairo University Clock

The Cairo University Clock Tower rises 42 meters high and features five copper bells, including four small ones and one large central bell.

The clock tower was constructed in 1937 by the same engineers who built Big Ben in London, incorporating similar design elements and mechanisms.

The clock tower serves as a central meeting point for students and faculty members, marking significant moments in university life since its construction.

The clock mechanism requires maintenance every three months and includes twenty yellow light bulbs that illuminate the glass for enhanced visibility.

The bells ring in different patterns throughout the day: four chimes every quarter hour, eight at half hour, and specific counts matching each hour.
