	Safa and Marwa are the names of two mountains near Mataf. The path between Safa and Marwa is called Mas'a, where the pilgrims cover the distance seven times during [[Hajj]]. With the expansion in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram, Mas'a and Mataf are now connected together. It is 394.5 meters long, with its first and second floors respectively 12 and 9 meters high. At present, some part of Safa mountain still remains but a major part of the Marwa mountain was eliminated during 1995 developments and now, merely the part where the pilgrims go round remains. Mas'a all in all has eighteen gates.		Safa and Marwa are the names of two mountains near Mataf.

			Ka'ba is a roofed, squared building inside al-Masjid al-Haram, with its exterior covered by grayish stones.

			{{main\|Hijr Isma'il}}
			Hijr Isma'il is located between Rukn al-Shami and Rukn al-Iraqi separated from the rest of the courtyard with a semi-circled wall, with a height of 1.3 meters and width of 50 centimeters. It is said that about 70 prophets are interred there.

			There is a building with a small golden dome, thirteen meters away from Ka'ba wall at the same side as [[al-Hajar al-Aswad]]. There is a stone with a footprint on it inside this building, which is attributed to Ibrahim (a). This stone was sheltered by a big dome made of brick, stone and wood, ornamented with the verses of holy Quran in the past. Since it reduced the space for circumambulation, in 1965 the Saudi government ordered to demolish and replace it by the present small shrine.
