The Great( or Grand) Mosque is located in Mecca (Makkah) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The Great Mosque is called Al-Masjid al-Ḥarām (المسجد الحرام) or "The Sacred Mosque") or the "Grand Mosque". It is the largest mosque in the world. It surrounds the Kaaba, the place which Muslims turn towards while offering daily prayers and is considered by Muslims as the holiest place on earth. The mosque capacity can be up to 4 million Muslim worshipers during hajj (pilgrimage) days.
