Kaaba receives new covering for Islamic New Year
The change of the Holy Kaaba's cover is celebrated coinciding with the start of the Islamic Hijri year 1448 AH. Saudi Arabia uses high-quality materials, including 825 kilograms of natural silk and 47 layers of black silk, as well as 60 kilograms of pure silver and 120 kilograms of silver plated with gold. The covering goes through seven stages of production, including dyeing, weaving, printing, and hand embroidery, to ensure high quality and sustainability under various weather conditions. The new covering is raised annually on a special occasion eagerly anticipated by Muslims around the world. Pilgrims line up to receive it after it is carefully prepared. The number of pilgrims during the 1447 AH season was approximately 1.7 million.
