2 million Muslims from all over world go to make hajj every year, at least one time in your life if you can make it. In the center of Mecca are Ka'aba ; all Muslims prayers. Muslims are retracing the footsteps of Muhammed during hajj days. People stop befor entering Mecca to perform cleansing rituals: men shave or cut come of their hair and clean up; after that they put on two pieces of simple white robe while women wear long dresses and uncover thier face to show the equality of all people.
In Mecca they start Tawaf in an anticlock wise direction walking seven times around Ka'aba. And then Sa'i is going between two hills Safa and Marwah.
After that they go to Mina to stay the night and the next morning they travel to Arafat; then that evening they travel to Muzdalifah, then back to Mina to throw sevenpebbles at each of the three statues; each pilgrim must slaughter a sheep then return to Mecca and make Tawaf and Sa'i then return to Mina for three days; after that the farewell Tawaf.
