The historic Kiswa factory in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where in Mecca, the gold threading used to be made. Amounting to huge money as it costs millions of Saudi Riyals. This is another happening place in Saudi that should be visited when one is on Umrah trip or during his or her Haj tour.
Threads made in the factory with the use of 120 kg of gold, 150 kg of silver could be of higher values, which needs attention.
There’s a lot of buzz across the world that Gulf countries possess more gold than their oil stocks. It’s because some people may not be aware that there are mountains of gold in KSA.
Pilgrims of Umrah and Haj from different countries do shopping a lot in KSA, it was reported. Kiswa made with gold thread by special artisans at Umm Al Jud, Mecca is rich in value.
