The Holy Kaaba (الكعبة المشرفة, al-Kaʿba al-Musharrafa), often simply called the Kaaba, is the most sacred site in Islam. It’s a cube-shaped stone structure located at the center of the Masjid al-Haram (the Grand Mosque) in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Muslims around the world face toward the Kaaba during their five daily prayers (it’s the qibla), and it’s the primary destination of the Hajj pilgrimage that every able Muslim is encouraged to perform at least once in their lifetime.
