La Mecque

Arabie Saoudite

High hopes
The kabah also referred as Al-Kaaba Mecca-Muazzama, is a building at the center of Islam's most sacred mosque, Al-Masjid al-Haram, in Mecca, al-Hejaz, Saudi Arabia. It is the most sacred Muslim site in the world. It is considered the "House of God" and has a similar role to the Tabernacle and Holy of Holies in Judaism. Wherever they are in the world, Muslims are expected to face the Kaaba when performing salat. From any point in the world, the direction facing the Kaaba is called the qibla
Kaaba is the only place on earth where the worship never quits. Million of #moslem people come from over the world to perform #hajj and #umrah throughout the year. And here in Masjidil Haram, the biggest mosque in the world, thousand of people do thawaf everytime, a circular (counter clockwise) movement with this Kaaba as the centre of worship. #mecca #masjidilharam #islam #kabah #blue
In Jeddah, there is one famous beach for tourists from any religions, not only for moslem. The beach is located in front of Balad CornichĂš, the shopping mall and arcade for hajj or umrah pilgrims. Since the sky in Arab peninsula is often clear and cloudless, you have a big chance to capture the perfect sunset with the big orange sun above the horizon.
(Al Wahbah crater) The mouth of the Al-Wa'bah locally called the mud quarry) is located in the desert of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 254 km from Taif and on the western edge of the basalt plateau hills that contain many volcanic cones. This crater is the largest of its kind in the Middle East, with a diameter of 2 km and a depth of 250 meters and has a flat base covered by a thick crust of white sodium phosphate crystal. It was believed that the crater resulted from the fall of a meteorite, because its outer appearance resembles meteor craters in its circular shape and the height of its sides, but today geologists agree that the crater was formed by volcanic activity that led to an underground explosion that generates steam by the contact of molten rock with groundwater.
