These pictures taken by Mohammed Helmi show a glimpse of what the Masjid Al Haram looked like more than 65 years ago. Just goes to show how much has changed.

Al Abbas Gate


The Mataf area – notice that there was no marble flooring…

So many birds…

No queues at the Hajar Al Aswad back then…

There was a building above the ZamZam well called the ZamZam building…

And there was also a structure above Maqam Ibrahim.
