【Saudi Arabia】

『The one who guards two great sacred places of Islam』

《Pilgrimage to Mecca where about two million people visit》

When staying at a hotel in a country of Islam,we sometimes come across arrows on which a word of qibla is written.➡

If going ahead for the direction which the arrows show more and more,we can reach to Saudi Arabia before long.➡

Saudi Arabia accounts for about 80% of the Arabia Penninsula.It takes pride in its oil deposits 埋蔵量,and it's the greatest country in the Middle East.😃

Mohammed,the founder of the Islam,was born there,and the country is famous for its two great holy groundsa, Mecca and Medina.😃

As to the arrows,they indicate the direction for Mecca.Muslims have to worship at Mecca,five times a day.The arrows show the place of Mecca.😃

The Muslims worship for a shrine of カーバ in Mecca precisely.There is a port town,ジッダ,which faces Red Sea.Mecca is at a distance of about 70km from the port town.It lies inland.It has a population of 0.4 million.😃
