This evocative photograph captures the scene at Hejaz Menaha Square in Medina, Saudi Arabia, circa 1905. The image offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the traditional mode of transport used by Muslim pilgrims during the Hajj, or Islamic pilgrimage, to Mecca. The caravan, led by a column of camels, is a testament to the enduring spirit of travel and the determination of pilgrims to complete their religious journey. The square, bustling with activity, is filled with tents and luggage, as travellers prepare for the next leg of their journey. The camels, laden with supplies and provisions, stand proudly, their humps a symbol of the arduous journey ahead. The pilgrims, dressed in traditional Islamic attire, can be seen huddled around fires, preparing meals or engaging in conversation. Hejaz Menaha Square, located in the historic city of Medina, has been a vital stopover for pilgrims for centuries. The square served as a resting place and marketplace, where travellers could purchase supplies, rest, and socialize with fellow pilgrims. The image captures the essence of this vibrant and bustling square, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Islamic world. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of the Hajj pilgrimage in Islamic tradition and the resilience and determination of the pilgrims who make the journey. The scene at Hejaz Menaha Square, with its camels, tents, and travellers, remains a powerful symbol of the past and a testament to the enduring spirit of the Islamic faith.
