Ka'bah

Vast crowds gather around the Ka’bah in Mecca’s central square, which forms one huge Mosque. It is towards the Ka’bah that Muslims turn their heads in prayer, wherever in the world they might live. 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.
