Description
Of the hundreds of thousands of Muslims arriving in Mecca for the annual hajj pilgrimage, perhaps none had a more arduous journey than Adam Mohammed, a 53-year-old electrical engineer from the United Kingdom, who travelled on foot to Saudi Arabia. "I cried when I first arrived. It's an unbelievable feeling," says Mohammed at Mecca's Grand Mosque. Another pilgrim, Halima from Russia, says she had been dreaming of the day she would see the Kaaba for more than a decade, after she lost chance to perform the hajj last year due to Covid-19 restrictions.
