King Faisal and family members

Like may other pious Muslims, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia and members of his family make the pilgrimage every year, walking seven times round the Ka’bah like the other pilgrims, and kissing the Black Stone as a token of respect for the Prophet who once did the same. 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.
