The administration of the Two Holy Mosques has lifted the Kaaba’s covering (Kiswah) 3 meters above the ground ahead of the Hajj pilgrimage, as is customary each year. This step, which will last until the 15th of Dhul-Hijjah, is intended to protect the sacred cloth from potential damage during the flow of pilgrims. Historically, some pilgrims attempted to touch or cut pieces of the Kiswah to save as relics, resulting in wear and tear. The elevated covering protects the Kaaba’s sacredness and prevents unintended damage during the busy Hajj season.
