APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Mecca - 13 August 2019 – Palestinian Pilgrims at their tent city of Mina, as they take part in one of the Hajj rituals southeast of the Saudi holy city of Mecca.

STORYLINE – According to the Muslims holy book the Koran, the Kaaba was built by Abraham and his son Ismael, after Ismael had settled in Arabia. Millions of Muslims have arrived in Saudi Arabia to perform their Hajj.

Arafat is the site where Muslims believe the Prophet Mohammed gave his last sermon about 14 centuries ago after leading his followers on the pilgrimage. The ultra-conservative kingdom, which is undergoing dramatic social and economic reforms, has mobilised vast resources for the six-day journey, one of the five pillars of Islam.
