Such incredible craftsmanship
The level of detail and care that goes into this every year is mind-blowing. I always wonder how the artisans feel seeing their work displayed so prominently.
Kaaba adorned with new kiswa
JEDDAH: At the beginning of the new Hijri year, the Holy Kaaba was covered with its new kiswa, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s care for the holiest site in Islam and its expertise in producing Islamic craftsmanship. The replacement of the kiswa is one of the key rituals at the Grand Mosque and marks the completion of months of work at the King Abdulaziz Complex for the Holy Kaaba Kiswa in Makkah, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.
