Well of Zamzam (Aabe Zam Zam)
The Well of Zamzam (or the Zamzam Well, or just Zamzam; Arabic: ) is a well located within the Masjid al Haram in Mecca, 20 meters east of the Kaaba,[1]the holiest place in Islam. According to Islamic tradition it was a miraculously- generated source of water from angel Jibril (Gabriel), which began thousands of years ago when Ibraham's infant son was thirsty. Millions of pilgrims visit the well each year while performing the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimages, in order to drink its water. By Saudi law, the water cannot be sold outside of the kingdom, but because of strong demand there is a thriving market in fake Zamzam water in other countries.
