Khaled, a Saudi worker, sews gold plated threads on a drape for the Kaaba at a Kiswa factory in Jeddah, 12 December 2007. The drape which engulfs the Kaaba is formally called Kiswa and is changed every year at the culmination of the annual hajj, or pilgrimage, when the hajjis have left Mecca to go to Arafat, the starting point of their hajj journey.
