Mahmal (Arabic: مَحْمَل) is a ceremonial palanquin carried on the back of a camel as part of the Hajj caravans. Although no one rides in it during the journey, it symbolically represents the protection and patronage of the sultan or the state. The coverings of the mahmal are typically regarded as sacred and are adorned with decorative embroidery.
