Who can go inside the Kaaba?


Who can go inside the Kaaba? In theory, any Muslim can enter the Kaaba. But only those who are authorized by the guardians of the monument, the Al-Shaibi family who have held the only key for 15 centuries, have this privilege. Behind the large wooden door covered with nearly 300 kg of gold is a small room with a marble floor.
