The Kaaba, a cuboid structure draped in black silk and gold-embroidered fabric, stands majestically at the heart of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Revered as the most sacred site in Islam, this ancient edifice draws millions of pilgrims annually, who circle it in a profound act of devotion known as Tawaf. Built by the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Ismail (Ishmael) millennia ago, the Kaaba's aura is steeped in spiritual significance and historical reverence. Its black stone, believed to have descended from heaven, glistens with a mysterious allure, captivating the hearts of the faithful and symbolizing the unity and faith of the global Muslim community.

Join Keith as he takes you through its history and some of its mystery.
