From 2 million to 1,000 Striking photographs show socially-removed Hajj
While the Hajj regularly includes enormous groups packed around Islam's holiest hallowed place, the current year's yearly journey has seen admirers circumambulating the Kaaba along concentric circles set apart on the ground. A few feet isolated the cover clad travelers who strolled at a deliberate pace.
The Tawaf Al-Qudum, a gathering soul-changing experience in the blessed city of Mecca, was not normal for anything that Muslims viewing the parades on their TV screens had ever observed. By and large, more than 2,000,000 travelers go to the Hajj, which is viewed as one of the five mainstays of Islam.
Universal pioneers have been banned from the current year's Hajj. Those chose to go to are remote occupants of Saudi Arabia and Saudi nationals between the ages of 20 and 50. "We are attempting to apply the idea of security bubbles, where each explorer will have a situation around the person in question that is free and sheltered however much as could reasonably be expected from any sort of risks, so all that is required by the Hajjis are their own defensive hardware their cleanliness items are without given of charge," Assistant Deputy Minister for Preventative Health at the Saudi Ministry of Health, Dr. Abdullah Assiri told CNN in a meeting on Wednesday.
