Ka'aba Radio Programme

Ka'aba Radio Programme

BBC Radio 3, The Black Cube, 1 Mar 09 available on iPlayer for 7 days from original broadcast (shame it wasn't an MP3)

"Broadcaster and film-maker Navid Akhtar talks about the Ka'aba - or the Black Cube - at the heart of the Masjid al Haram Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is the holiest shrine of Islam, encircled by millions of pilgrims every year, and is traditionally said to have been built by Abraham on the foundations of the first house of Adam."

I haven't heard this one yet.
