Mentioned in the image are the office of the Qadi, the fortress on Jabal Hindi (or Quaiqian Mountain), the building housing the Zamzam well, the Minbar, the Maqam Hanafi, the Maqam Malik and Maqam Hanbali. An additional note states that the steps to the Kaaba and the Maqam Ibrahim, which is also the Maqam Shaf'i, are obscured from view by the Zamzam building. Title and date from item.
