Tawaf
In Islamic context, Tawaf refers to the ritual of circumambulating the Ka'bah (the holiest building in Mecca) seven times during the pilgrimages of Hajj and Umrah. Muslims walk around the Ka'bah in a counter-clockwise direction three times at a hurried pace, followed by four times, more closely, at a leisurely pace.
