Tawaf: Circling the Ka'bah

Performing the seven circuits.

Tawaf is circling the Ka'bah seven times, beginning and ending at the Black Stone, keeping the Ka'bah on your left.

This is a draft example — edit it in the admin.

Practical notes

  • Each circuit starts and ends in line with the Black Stone.
  • If the area is crowded, you do not need to touch or kiss the Black Stone — simply point towards it and say "Allahu Akbar".
  • The upper floors and roof are far less crowded if mobility allows.
