Kaaba almost deserted | Saudi Arabia lifts ban on worshipers at Mecca

in hive-196037 •  5 years ago 


Worshippers returned to Islam's holiest site on Saturday after Saudi Arabia temporarily lifted its ban on visitors to the Grand Mosque of Mecca, imposed to control the spread of coronavirus.

Video showed the first group of worshippers walking around the Kaaba, a place of pilgrimage that Muslims are required to visit at least once in their lifetime.

On Friday, cleaning staff moved in to sanitise the mosque, leaving it empty of worshippers on what would normally be the busiest day of the week.

Had they done a proper job at the entrances of the country and entrances of Mecca, they wouldn't need to empty the Grand Mosque.

Let's hope this virus doesn't reach there, it'll then spread faster worldwide since the visitors come from all four corners of the world.
