Mecca Live & Holy Sites

This category brings together live broadcasts from places of faith around the world. The most watched views include the Kaaba at the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, with the tawaf continuing around it, and the courtyards of the Prophet's Mosque in Medina. Alongside them you will find sacred sites of other traditions, such as Cologne Cathedral, the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris and the grotto at Lourdes, as well as the square of the Emir Sultan Mosque in Bursa.

Many people open these streams to feel connected while far away, to see the crowds during the Hajj and Umrah seasons, or to get a sense of a place before visiting. The broadcasts come from official bodies and the sites themselves, so they may be interrupted for technical reasons, during maintenance or at certain hours. If you are planning a visit, check the live weather on the camera page too, especially the temperature.
