'The Holy Carpet Parade with the Mahmal, Cairo, Egypt', 1905. 'Every year at the expense of the Sultan a fine carpet or huge fabric for festooning the Kaaba at Mecca is made in this city, and we are now viewing the procession which is bearing it from the citadel to the mosque of the Hasanên, where the pieces will be sewed together and lined, in readiness for the departure of the pilgrims. We cannot here see the carpet itself, but the mahmal which accompanies it is even more sacred. We refer to the curious object which you see at the head of the long procession. It is a pyramid of woven fabric richly embroidered, surmounting a roughly cubical base, of the same material. The whole is stretched on a wooden frame, and contains nothing.

Historical Geography. 1900. Kerbela, some sixty miles south-west of Baghdad, where Hussein, son of Ali the fourth Caliph, was slain in A. D. 680, almost ranks with Mecca as Muslim holy city. Something like a quarter of a million Shia Muslims annually make pilgrimage to the great shrine with golden dome and gilded minarets that contains the martyr's remains. Like Mecca, Karbala's material prosperity depends largely on the pilgrims, for whom caravanserais like this provide accomodation. They are built round the four sides of an open courtyard, with stables for animals on the ground floor and bare rooms for the travellers above. (Photo by: SeM/UIG via Getty Images)
