Movable Mimbar for Masjid al-Haram, Mecca, Saudi Arabia

For this revered mosque, Ajooba Handicrafts was given the honour of making a minbar in pure white marble set with turquoise leaves and Qu'ranic calligraphy, which could combine 21st century German technology with 17th century Mughal craftsmanship, to create a movable and air conditioned structure--the first of its kind.
