Standing where Prophet Muhammad gave his final sermon 2 million Muslims perform Hajj

Muslim pilgrims circumambulate around the Kaaba, the cubic building at the Grand Mosque, during the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, Monday, before heading to Mina. Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam and one of the largest religious gatherings in the world.

This is the largest pilgrimage since 2019, after which the Hajj was dramatically curbed due to coronavirus restrictions that limited the pilgrimage to just a few thousand people.
