About Masjid al-Haram
Masjid al-Haram (The Grand Mosque) in Mecca is the largest mosque in the world and the holiest site in Islam. At its center stands the Kaaba, the cubic structure that Muslims worldwide face during prayer. The mosque can accommodate over 2 million worshippers during Hajj season and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The live stream broadcasts continuously from official cameras positioned around the Haram, allowing Muslims everywhere to watch Tawaf (circumambulation of the Kaaba), daily prayers, Friday sermons, and special occasions like Hajj and Ramadan. The stream includes the call to prayer (Adhan) five times daily, recitation of the Quran, and Taraweeh prayers during Ramadan.
What You Can See
The Makkah live stream typically shows the Mataf area (the open space around the Kaaba where Tawaf takes place), the Black Stone corner (Hajar al-Aswad), the Maqam Ibrahim, and the Zamzam well area. During prayer times, you can watch millions of worshippers praying in perfect rows. The stream switches between multiple camera angles to show different perspectives of the mosque.
