At the heart of the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia stands the Kaaba, the cube-shaped structure toward which Muslims worldwide turn in prayer.
Pilgrims circle it during Hajj and Umrah in a continuous tide of devotion. Access is reserved for Muslims, making it one of the faith's most sacred destinations.
