On July 10, 2025 (15 Muharram 1447), Saudi officials wrapped up the annual cleaning of the Kaaba.
The procedure began after dawn prayers under the direction of His Royal Highness Prince Saud bin Mishal bin Abdulaziz, Deputy Governor of Makkah and Vice Chairman of the Central Hajj Committee, acting for Saudi Arabia’s monarch and Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.
Workers utilized forty liters of Zamzam water combined with 540 milliliters of liquid derived from hand-picked Taif roses.
This mixture incorporated 24 milliliters of concentrated Taif rose essence, 24 milliliters of premium oud oil, and 3 milliliters of musk.
Prince Saud applied the prepared blend to the Kaaba’s interior surfaces using cotton cloths while religious authorities observed the process. Following the interior cleansing, workers addressed the exterior walls.

Concurrent maintenance activities included thorough cleaning of the Mataf worship area and reinforcement of the Kiswa covering sections.
Technical staff examined the Kaaba’s foundation during the procedure. Summer temperatures reached 42°C during the morning hours.
All work concluded before noon prayers.
