The Cleaning of the Ka’bah

 

The building is opened twice a year for a ceremony known as "the cleaning of the Kaaba." This ceremony takes place roughly fifteen days before the start of the month of ramadan and the same period of time before the start of the annual pilgrimage.

 

The keys to the Kaaba are held by the Banu Shaybat tribe.

Members of the tribe greet visitors to the inside of the Kaaba on the occasion of the cleaning ceremony. A small number of dignitaries and foreign diplomats are invited to participate in the ceremony. The governor of Mecca leads the honored guests who ritually clean the structure, using simple brooms. Washing of the Kaaba is done with a mixture of zamzam and rosewater.
