When a pilgrim arrives at Mecca, the first thing he does, after finding a habitation and recovering from the fatigue of the journey, is to visit the Caaba. He is conducted thither by a personage called a Mutawif, who meets the pilgrim at the very door of his lodgings, and walks before him all the way, reciting as he goes along the suitable prayers. The pilgrim or pilgrims follow him after reciting the prayers till they reach the "gate of salutation." Here the pilgrim, if he has not already performed his ablutions, finds water deposited for this purpose, as is the case also at most of the other gates. From this point the Caaba becomes visible, and here the procession halts for a few minutes while the Mutawif, followed by the pilgrims, performs the devotions specially set apart for this stage of the ceremony.
