Indonesia hajj practice
The Indonesians like to know what they're doing before performing hajj, i suppose everyone does to some extent. Asking local shaykhs, reading up on it etc. But the Indonesians take it to another level, they build replica kaabas and perform a replica hajj in their local towns. These buildings are usually made from bamboo and are taken down once used, but in the city of Probolingo, East Java, there is a full size permanent replica with the hijr, maqam ibrahim and black stone! It's really surreal as it's just off the main road. As we left the place a guy even rocked up in his ihram!! Take a look:
