🇸🇦  مرحبا بكم في المملكة العربية السعوديةWelcome to Saudi Arabia!This model was designed by Daniel Muradás, with added details by Dany Sánchez .The Kaaba ("The Cube") is a building at the center of Islam's most important mosque in the Hejazi city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is the most sacred site in Islam. Wherever they are in the world, Muslims are expected to face the Kaaba when praying. One of the Five Pillars of Islam requires every Muslim who is able to do so to perform the Hajj (Greater Pilgrimage) and visit the Kaaba at least once in their lifetime. About 1.5 million people visit it every year (from Wikipedia).MiniWorld 3D is happy to bring this historical model to life as a homage to the people of Saudi Arabia.
