The Kaaba, a cube-shaped structure draped in black silk, stands at the center of Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is the qibla, the direction Muslims face during prayer, and the focal point of the Hajj pilgrimage. Pilgrims circle the Kaaba seven times in a ritual known as Tawaf, often touching or kissing the Black Stone embedded in its eastern corner. The surrounding mosque, one of the largest in the world, features expansive marble floors, towering minarets, and intricate calligraphy. Visiting during non-pilgrimage times offers a more serene experience, though the site remains deeply spiritual year-round. Non-Muslims are not permitted entry to Mecca, making this a unique destination for Muslim travelers only.

Um pouco de história
