The pathway between mounts Safa and Marwa. Walking this once desert pathway - now air conditioned and covered in marble - is part of the pilgrimage rituals.
Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

  2. Amazing!

    Here I had visions of dusty pilgrims slogging through the sand and dirt, but it's all marble and airconditioning! Fantastic!
