The roof of the Kaaba is held by 49 piece of teak wood brought from Burma and processed in Jeddah
They were evenly distributed on the walls of the Kaaba.
Muhyiddin Hashemi, former director of Kaaba maintenance office said that the current building design was set by Quraysh, where they left just one door open and removed the second door.
He added that the Kaaba was re-built by Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr in 64 Hijri after being destroyed and burned by the famous siege of Makkah.
However, Abdul Malik bin Marwan rebuilt it back again in 73 Hijri as Quraych had designed it.
During the Saudi reign, many amendments and restorations were made to the Kaaba; in 1377 for example they replaced the roof top of the Kaaba so that it had 2 tops:
one external and another internal made of wood.
