The Holy Kaaba gets a new Kiswa. Saudi workers carry the new Kiswa, the protective cover that engulfs the Kaaba, made from black silk and gold thread and embroidered with Quran verses. – Kiswa is changed every year at the culmination of the annual hajj, or pilgrimage, when the pilgrims have left Mecca to go to Arafat, the starting point of their hajj journey.
