Podcast of Interest (title, date, info): The Kabah - A Tour, 09/02/2008, This is the third video in the 3D Kabah podcast series. In this video we take a tour around the Kabah. Stopping to see the Black Stone, The Kabah door, the Hijr Ismael, the water spout and the Yemeni corner. This video will allow you to get a sense of where these things are in relation to each other, and in relation to the Kabah.
Overall Review: This week’s podcast put me in a bit of a pickle. Being that it is an animated vcast, I wasn’t sure whether to file this post under “video”, “artwork”, or under the normal header of “podcast review”… in the end, what really matters is that this podcast rocks, masha’Allah! I won’t bother repeating the descriptions above - just check out the amazing 3D rendered models of the Kabah, and Masjid al-Haram. An excellent resource for those planning to go on Hajj or Umrah, insha’Allah.
Recommended audience: Everyone!

Score: 8.5/10
