Zamzam Well

Zamzam is the sacred well at the edge of the sanctuary at Mecca, east of the Kaaba beside the wall holding the Black Stone and a little farther from the centre than the Station of Abraham. The Encyclopaedia of Islam says the name is onomatopoeic and means abundant water in the medieval dictionaries, and that Abbasid-period accounts folded the well into a mythic discourse that goes beyond the Qur'anic text, which does not refer to it directly. Pilgrims have treasured its water as blessed and curative from early Islamic times to today.
