Location of Zamzam Well in Mecca, Saudi Arabia
The Zamzam Well (Arabic: بئر زمزم, romanized: Biʾru ZamzamArabic pronunciation:[biʔruzam.zam]) is a well located within the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is located 20 m (66 ft) east of the Kaaba,[2] the holiest place in Islam.
According to Islamic narratives, the well is a miraculously generated source of water, which opened up thousands of years ago when the son of Ibrahim (Abraham), Ismaʿil (Ishmael), was left with his mother Hajar (Hagar) in the desert. It is stated to have dried up during the settlement of the Jurhum in the area and to have been rediscovered in the 6th century by Abd al-Muttalib, grandfather of Muhammad.
Millions of pilgrims visit Mecca and Medina each year to perform the hajj or umrah and drink water from the zamzam well.
