A pilgrimage to Mecca, called the Hajj, is one of Islam’s Five Pillars. More than 3 million people make this journey every year. Many make their way to the Sacred Mosque, the holiest site in the holiest city, as part of their journey.
Sites that involve Hajj include the Hill of Arafat and Jabal Rahma where the Prophet Muhammad offered his last sermon. There is Mina, which is the symbolic site of the devil being stone. Jabal Al Thur is the cave where the Prophet Muhammad hid while being pursued by Meccans and legend has it that a spider cast a web to offer protection.
Shopping in the city is always an option. Be prepared to bargain. You’ll find a wide variety of food options available in Meccas as well, with most restaurants featuring regional dishes. Interestingly enough, there are American fast-food chains available in the city as well, including a Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Hiking the mountains of Mecca is part of the experience as well, though it is not necessarily part of Hajj. Jabal Al Noor, or the Mountain of Light, offers the Her-aa grotto, which is believed to be where the Prophet Muhammad had the Qur’an be revealed to him.
Mecca is the holiest city in Islam and has strict rules in place that do not allow non-Muslims to enter the city. The official penalty for violating entry rules to Mecca is deportation. For those who do have entry, you will find that Mecca is a city that is beyond anything that a written description of it can provide.
