Image description

Pilgrimage to swim in the desert. A rare phenomenon, the rains have transformed the esplanade of the Great Mosque of Mecca into a lake, in the heart of Arabia, where the Caaba, sacred stone of the Mohammedans, stands. To reach the venerated monument, the pilgrims had to immerse themselves in the water and even proceed by swimming. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 20 August 1950.
