Great Mosque of Al-Haram - Mecca, Saudi

Being a fan of photography, I was not happy with the pics I managed to take in Saudi. Everywhere I turned, I had to be very careful when I take a photo. I tried going up to the top level of the hotel so I can take photos of the mosque and we were stopped by the police because we could supposedly take pics of the royal palaces too.

This is as close as I could get. When I went inside the mosque - most of the times, our bags are inspected and if there's a camera in there, they ask us to go back.
