Experiences during Hajj I
The following shows the different parts of Mecca/Medinah and of people performing their pilgrimage. I find that these pictures are extremely well taken and inspiring because they show the human aspect of the pilgrimage rather than the holy city itself.

Precious craftsmanship: gold and silver thread embroidery of the verses of the Qur'an on the Ka'bah covering. |

The most solemn moment for a pilgrim: touching the Black Stone. Not all pilgrims can get this close and they are only required to hail it from a distance. |
 |
|
Invocation of the pilgrims on the hill of As-Safa, point of departure for the procession. |
 |
|
The Maqam Ibrahim (place where Abraham was in the habit of standing). It is opposite the Multazam the only door of the Ka'bah. |
