Saudi Arabia has banned pilgrims from taking photos and videos for any purpose at Islam's two holiest sites, Mecca's Masjid al-Haram, known as the Great Mosque of Mecca, and Medina's Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, or 'The Prophet's Mosque', according to reports. The move is aimed at protecting and preserving the holy sites and preventing disturbances among worshippers, reports added.
