Nevertheless, being interested in religion, he agreed to embark upon this great journey. And great the feeling was when he laid his eyes on Kaaba.

We hear people talk about it; we read about it; we watch it on Television. But when we stand in front of this gigantic black cube ourselves, it just overwhelms us. Seeing the Kaaba I felt that a veil between my world and Allah has been raised. Whatever I will say, he will listen, Ahmed tried to explain the feeling. All my life, I've chanted Allahu Akbar without really knowing what it meant. But the day I saw Kaaba, I felt 'Allah is the greatest' in my bones.

The House has an overpowering effect. The enormous height perhaps produces a humbling sentiment whilst its long history makes it a testament of times. Millions of Muslims from all over the world come to see it every year.

Most amazing place.
