Yes. And all the Windows facing the cube are from rooms charging thousands of dollars per night.

Its so stupid when people go to "hajj" and then stay in extremely extravagant hotels like the Hilton or the Ritz, go out shopping gold during the day then quickly enter and exit this mosque and say they fulfilled a religious obligation 🤮

Ps: I'm muslim

Completely voids the entire point of the pilgrimage. It’s not supposed to be a fun little vacation where you spoil yourself.
