What is the Kiswa Factory and Why It’s So Special
The Kiswa Factory is a very special and holy place where the cloth of the Kaaba is made. Here, pure silk is dyed and woven into panels, and then the Quranic verses are carefully stitched by hand using gold and silver threads. This is not just a factory making cloth, it is part of serving the House of Allah (S.W.A). That is why this factory is so special, and Muslims all over the world respect it. Anyone who visits here does not see it as just a normal tour. It is an experience that refreshes faith and touches the heart. Guests of AlKiswah Tours often say that visiting the Kiswa Factory is a valuable experience that leaves a lasting impression, as every step of the work is done with love, respect, and full attention.
Explore the Art and History of the Kaaba’s Kiswa Making
Making the Kaaba’s Kiswa is a very old and special art. Long ago, the cloth was made in Egypt and brought to Makkah by camels or ships, but the long journey sometimes damaged it. In 1927, King Abdulaziz ordered the first Saudi Kiswa Factory in Makkah. Today, the modern Kiswa Factory in Umm Al-Joud makes the entire Kiswa inside Saudi Arabia. Every step is carefully done by engineers, designers, weavers, and calligraphers, and a separate team checks everything to make sure it is perfect. The factory now uses modern machines to help with weaving and dyeing, but the Quranic verses are still stitched by hand. Each gold and silver thread is placed very carefully to keep the traditional quality. Guests who visit with AlKiswah Tours can see the Kiswa closely and also learn about its history and importance. This tour makes your Hajj or Umrah journey even more special and memorable.
The Sacred Process of Weaving the Kiswa
Making the Kiswa takes several careful steps. First, pure silk is dyed black, and then long panels are cut and prepared with great care. These panels become the main part of the Kiswa. Every step is done with love, respect, and deep devotion. When you join the Kiswa Factory Tour 2026, you can see for yourself how this holy work is done with patience, skill, and a beautiful spirit of faith.
Gold and Silver Embroidery
When the panels of the Kiswa are ready, Quranic verses are hand-embroidered onto them. This embroidery uses hundreds of meters of pure gold and silver threads, making the process both beautiful and sacred. Skilled craftsmen work with deep respect and full focus, carefully stitching each letter to keep the verses perfectly aligned and elegant. It can take several weeks to complete a single panel, as every golden and silver thread is placed by hand with great care. The shine of gold and silver on the black silk creates a spiritual and breathtaking sight that truly touches the heart.
