At the first sight of the Kaaba, raise your hands and make your most heartfelt personal dua, as this is a moment when supplications are accepted. A recommended dua is: 'Allahumma Anta-Salam wa minka-Salam, fahayyina Rabbana bis-Salam' — O Allah, You are Peace and from You is peace, so greet us, our Lord, with peace.
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ، فَحَيِّنَا رَبَّنَا بِالسَّلَامِ
Allahumma Antas-Salam wa minkas-Salam, fahayyina Rabbana bis-Salam.
Meaning: O Allah, You are Peace and from You is peace, so greet us, our Lord, with peace.
Source: Sunan Abu Dawud #521The first sight of the Kaaba overwhelms most pilgrims with emotion — tears, awe, and profound spiritual awakening. Scholars of the early generations identified this as a special moment of acceptance. It is recommended to have one's most important duas prepared and to recite them at this precious moment, as it may not come again in one's lifetime.
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ، فَحَيِّنَا رَبَّنَا بِالسَّلَامِ
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'The dua is not rejected between the adhan and iqamah.' Similarly, scholars from the Salaf identified the first sight of the Kaaba as a time when dua is accepted, and Ibn Umar was reported to raise his hands upon seeing the Kaaba and make dua.
