In the villages, when a member of the family has made the pilgrimage to Mecca, a painting is often added to the front of the house, sometimes showing the means of transport, but always showing the Kaaba. Rather than taking photos there, they come home and then record it.

Very interesting, thank you.
Where is this painting / whose is it? It is lovely.
This is on the front of a village house near Abu Sir. I don't know who painted it. Could have been a family member or perhaps they paid someone.
Fascinating.
