Hundreds of thousands of Muslims are gathering at the holy site from all over the world for the annual hajj pilgrimage set to begin later this month.
A massive £14billion project is currently underway to increase the area of the mosque by 4.3million sq ft – so that it can accommodate up to 2.2 million people at once.
