Description
Written in the tradition of the rihla – one of the oldest genres of classical Arabic literature – Mumbai to Mecca is a personal, reflective and enlightening description of the Hajj, the pilgrimage to the holy sites of Islam.
Donning the ihram, the traditional garb of the pilgrim Tojanow joined hundreds of thousands of Muslims who each year make the pilgrimage, the greatest demonstration of the Muslim faith. In three short weeks he experienced a tradition dating back over a thousand years.
