Going on hajj to Mecca is one of the 5 pillars of Islam. These are testimonies on the sides people's houses of having gone. The black cube/box in the pictures is the Kaaba which hajj pilgrims march around seven times.
Ash-sham is the area now made up of Syria, Lebanon, Palestine/Israel, and Jordan ... maybe Iraq too, but I'm not going there. This blog is about yours truly's visit there in October/November 2009
