A nighttime view of a crowded courtyard surrounding the Kaaba in Mecca. Thousands of people dressed in white are gathered, many of them circumambulating the cube-shaped structure. The Kaaba is covered in a black cloth with gold embroidery. Surrounding the courtyard are tall white buildings and a minaret. The lighting is dim, with lights illuminating the buildings and the Kaaba itself. The foreground shows a tiled surface and dark railings.
