Unlike many people, Saudi craftsmen Abdullah Khaled and his son Turki can easily read the words stitched on a gold-laced cover for the holy Kaaba, around which millions of Muslim worshippers perform the main rituals of Haj.

Both master a craft that dates back to pre-Islamic times, when residents of Mecca made the cover to value the important site. The practice turned into a revered Islamic tradition when Prophet Mohammad entered Mecca. REUTERS/Umit Bektas

The cover is made of 675 kilogrammes of pure black silk for the external cover and green silk for the internal one, in addition to nearly tens of kilogrammes of gold and silver-plated threads used to stitch verses of the Koran on it. The cover costs nearly 24 million Saudi riyals ($6.4 million). REUTERS/Umit Bektas

But the Khaled's do not seem to care much about these details. For them, their craft is a source of pride. "I'm proud of my work, I'm really proud. There are people who cannot read the verses of Koran (stitched on Kaaba cover), but I can read them so I feel proud. All these things that are on Kaaba is my work," Abdullah said.

He has been working in the Mecca-based factory for 32 years. At the time, young Abdullah's colleagues were all old men. He took up the responsibility of passing on the craft to younger generations, including his son, Turki, who has been working with his father for five years. REUTERS/Umit Bektas
