Everyone talks about the drug part, but not the rest. So, filling in on this one.

The black thing right there is The Kaaba, the holiest place of Muslims. People on the background are completing Ṭawāf - holy pilgrimage to The Kaaba, which ends in going around it seven times in a counter -clockwise direction.

People there normally wear special clothes and chant holy phrases as they go around. For Muslims, it’s a very serious and spiritual event.

The dude poses in a way that says “hey, I’m gonna get spiritual with THIS” while completely disregarding every rule about being there.

(Muslims and other knowledgeable folks are welcome to correct me)
