The kabah also referred as Al-Kaaba Mecca-Muazzama, is a building at the center of Islam's most sacred mosque, Al-Masjid al-Haram, in Mecca, al-Hejaz, Saudi Arabia. It is the most sacred Muslim site in the world. It is considered the "House of God" and has a similar role to the Tabernacle and Holy of Holies in Judaism. Wherever they are in the world, Muslims are expected to face the Kaaba when performing salat. From any point in the world, the direction facing the Kaaba is called the qibla
Kaaba is the only place on earth where the worship never quits. Million of #moslem people come from over the world to perform #hajj and #umrah throughout the year. And here in Masjidil Haram, the biggest mosque in the world, thousand of people do thawaf everytime, a circular (counter clockwise) movement with this Kaaba as the centre of worship. #mecca #masjidilharam #islam #kabah #blue
In Jeddah, there is one famous beach for tourists from any religions, not only for moslem. The beach is located in front of Balad Cornichè, the shopping mall and arcade for hajj or umrah pilgrims. Since the sky in Arab peninsula is often clear and cloudless, you have a big chance to capture the perfect sunset with the big orange sun above the horizon.
