Mecca is the holiest city in Islam and the main destination for Muslim pilgrimage. Every year, millions of believers from around the world travel here to perform the Hajj. The city is home to the Kaaba — Islam’s most sacred site — located within the Grand Mosque (Al-Masjid al-Haram). Mecca is closed to non-Muslims and holds a central place in the spiritual life of the Islamic world.
