Circle around the Ka’bah

Several thousand pilgrims circle around the Ka’bah in the Holy Mosque in Mecca. The Ka’bah – The House of God and the physical axis of the Muslim World is a focal point toward which Muslims all over the world pray five times a day. Kenya's renowned photojournalist Mohamed Amin portrays these crowning moments in the life of men, rich and poor, from places as far apart as Malaysia and Mali, Nigeria and Japan, Indonesia and Iraq.
He was among the first to be given permission to photograph sections of the Sacred Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina.
