Islam\u2019s holiest site, the Kaaba, to be fully covered in its new Kiswa (the cloth that covers the Kaaba), on Monday.
\nThe Kaaba \u2013 located in Saudi\u2019s Makkah city – has already received its new kiswa in September.
\nThe Kaaba is dressed in its new Kiswa on the Day of Arafat every year. During the same day, the Grand Mosque is usually empty because all the pilgrims are gathered in Arafat.
\nThe Kiswa is made of pure silk with gold threads at the cost of more than SR22 million ($5.8 million). It is manufactured in a special factory in Makkah which is manned by 240 technicians, weavers and administrators.
\nThe Kiswa is 95 centimeters wide and nine meters high. It is made upon 47 pieces which are joined together to cover all the corners of the Kaaba.<\/p>\n
