The Hajj is the anuall pilgrimage to Mecca. It is the largest pilgrimage of the world. And also the fifth pillar of Islam. The pilgramage continues from the 7th to the 13th day of Dhu al-Hijjah.
The Hajj is associated with the life of Islamic prophet, Muhammed. Each person walks counter-clockwise around the Kaaba 7 times. They also run back and forth between 2 hills. They even throw stones at three pillars which represents evil.
On the last day of the Hajj they Must walk around the Kaaba again and they can't leave until sundown. Nobody ever wants to leave so that makes the Kaaba a very emotional trip. The last day is basically a large farewell because most people may never be able to visit it again in their life.
