Masjid Al Haram - Makkah, Saudi Arabia

Pilgrims dressed in white circle the Kaaba in the heart of Masjid al-Haram (المسجد الحرام), the Grand Mosque of Makkah, Saudi Arabia, and this camera looks down on the crowds moving around it day and night.

It's the holiest site in Islam and the largest mosque in the world, covering about 88 acres (356,000 sq m), with room for some 3 million worshippers. Muslims around the world face the Kaaba when they pray.

The Black Stone is set into the Kaaba's eastern corner, and the Zamzam Well lies about 66 feet (20 m) away. Above the mosque towers the Makkah Royal Clock Tower, completed in 2012 at 1,972 feet (601 m).

Did You Know? The Kaaba's black covering, the kiswah, is replaced with a new one every year in a special ceremony.
