MAKKAH

Hi all! So today I'm gonna tell you about some places at Makkah

Mecca or Makkah al-Mukarramah is a major city in Saudi Arabia. The city is the main destination of the Muslims in the pilgrimage. In this city, there is a main building called Masjidil Haram with the Kaaba in it.

There is a mosque built around the Ka'bah or commonly called the Haram.  In this mosque one of the pillars of the pilgrimage that must be performed by Muslims, tawaf, which is to surround the Kaaba 7 times. Moreover, in the Masjidil Haram also Muslims carry out Sa'i or walk back and forth from Mount Shafa to Mount Marwa and vice versa as many as 7 times.

Then in addition to the Masjidil Haram, there is a building called Abraj Al Bait or commonly known as the Clock Tower.  Abraj Al Bait is a place where pilgrims rest, which this building can accommodate 10,000 people. At night, the light around the clock will turn on into green light. Apart from being a place for pilgrims to rest, there are many very interesting and complete shopping centers in the Abraj Al Bait.  We can also buy souvenirs here for your family, friends, etc.
