Non-Muslims may never enter the city of Mecca or see the mysterious Kaabah, Islam’s most sacred building. But Google’s now giving you a sneak peek with a live stream of festivities at Mecca’s Grand Mosque.
Live Stream of Khana e Ka’aba During the month of Ramadhan
The slow circles of black-and-white clad worshipers circumnavigating the iconic draped building are almost hypnotic, along with the voice-only Islamic music.
Google has also set up a special page for Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which Muslims are required to observe by fasting during daylight hours. The page offers “more ways to get together during Ramadan,” which is often a time for post-nightfall family get-togethers and communal meals, as well as hangouts with celebrity chefs from Southeast Asia.
