Millions of Muslims are embarking on the traditional annual holy pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The first of more than two million people have already arrived ahead of this year's Hajj pilgrimage, which peaks next month.
The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims are expected to make the trip at least once in their lifetime, if they can.
This year's Hajj has attracted added attention with the participation of one of the world's oldest men, Habib Miyan, who is reportedly 132 years old.
