KUWAIT: On the occasion of the Prophet’s (PBUH) birthday, the Kuwait SAT-1 satellite, funded by the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS), captured satellite images of the Two Holy Mosques in Saudi Arabia. The first image shows the Holy Mosque in Makkah and the holy sites (Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah in Makkah) and the area is geologically covered with various types of igneous rocks. The second image shows the Prophet’s (PBUH) Mosque in Medina, surrounded by lava plateaus and hills known locally as Harrat. Mount Uhud is located next to the city from north to northeast. The image also highlights a number of valleys and dry channels such as Wadi Al-Aqiq and Wadi Al-Bayda.
