It is every Muslim’s dream to see be in Mecca and see the Kaabah with their own pair of eyes. Those performing the pilgrimage, either Hajj or Umrah, will get the chance to see the holy Kaabah.

Kaabah is located in Mecca and is the main direction, qibla, for Muslims to perform their prayers. Before Kaabah was built, Muslims face Jerusalem to perform their prayers.

In a recent post on DJ Khaled’s Instagram, he was in Mecca to perform umrah alongside the American former professional boxer, Mike Tyson.
