A Video Emerged Of Hajj From 88 Years Ago!

Hera Shabbir
Hajj is this ancient pilgrimage that’s been going on for years, drawing millions of Muslims from all over the world to Makkah. It’s crazy to think that back in the day, the area around the Holy Kaaba was so empty and vast, almost like a serene desert landscape.
Recently, a video popped up showing just how open and spacious the grounds used to be, with barely anyone around. It’s a stark contrast to today’s Hajj, where the streets are packed with people! Scroll down to check it out. 

This video of Hajj from the early 1900’s popped up on X

The clips, from the year 1938 to be exact shows the different modes of transport and the empty area around the Kaaba.
