Guests of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ Hajj, Umrah and Visitation Program tour King Abdulaziz Complex for the Holy Kaaba Kiswa
MAKKAH: The first group of guests participating in the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ Hajj, Umrah and Visitation Program — which is being implemented by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance — has visited the King Abdulaziz Complex for the Holy Kaaba Kiswa.
The visit was part of a cultural and educational program prepared by the ministry to enrich the guests’ experiences and show them the care and attention the Kingdom devotes to the Kaaba and its kiswa.
The guests were shown the stages that go toward producing the kiswa, beginning with the preparation and dyeing of natural silk threads, followed by weaving, embroidery, and stitching, and ending with the final assembly of the kiswa.
They also learned about the materials used in its production and observed the work carried out by specialized workers who have attained the highest standards of precision and craftsmanship.
