This 30-metre-deep well in Mecca is said to have sprung up to save Hagar and her son Ishmael, who were wandering in the desert.
The site of the Kaaba was probably chosen because of its proximity to a source of water, a sign of life, and therefore of the divine, in the harshness of the desert. It would have arisen thanks to the angel Djibril (Gabriel in Islam) to save Hagar and her son Ishmael who were wandering in the desert. The well of Zamzam was dug by hand about twenty meters from the Kaaba. It goes down to a depth of 30 meters. Underground rooms were built to clear the tawaf of the Kaaba. Sinks were installed to allow pilgrims to drink.
