In 1999, the Moroccan scholar Abdellah Hammoudi, trained in Paris and teaching in America, decided to go on the pilgrimage to Mecca. He wanted to observe the hajj as an anthropologist but also to experience it as an ordinary pilgrim, and to write about it for both Muslims and non–Muslims. Here is his intimate, intense, and detailed account of the hajj – a rare and important document by a subtle, learned, and sympathetic writer.
