Wow, that is an awesome shot.

The whites area is the combination all white garments worn by pilgrims.
Amazine picture !

tanzirian · April 27th, 2006, 03:00 AM

Actually, the white is the marble. You can see the pilgrims around the Kabah.

Any updates? I would be interested to know whether infact the design has been altered or not..

yeah, dude. its not meant to make the developers money. It does have importance, given the huge number of pilgrims, and lack of space in the city. But I do agree with you in that I feel its way to imposing. Seriously...When I go there I want to pay attention on praying and the actual Kabaa, not drooling over the towering skyscraper lol

matt_sbs · May 28th, 2006, 10:19 AM

how large is that big white area

This is the only major tower currently underconsttruction which is a requirement, not a status symbol. millions of people make their pilgrimages here every year, and it is about as small as a city can get. Without building tall people will not be able to fit in mecca, it is essential to mecca that they can support the growing number of pilgrimages. If you take the quote above and post it on any thread in construction section its fine, yet here is the one place where it is not a waste of time or money.

They should build a second Mecca somewhere in the suburbs.
