As your travel advisor, I highly recommend preparing for your journey by reading some insightful guides and books. For a comprehensive understanding of Makkah and the Umrah pilgrimage, consider "The Road to Makkah" by Muhammad Asad and "In the Footsteps of the Prophet" by Tariq Ramadan. If you prefer travel guides, "Lonely Planet Saudi Arabia" provides practical tips and cultural context. Additionally, "Umrah Guide" by Dr. Musharraf Hussain is an excellent resource for first-time pilgrims. Safe travels and enjoy your spiritual adventure!

About the destination

Mecca or Makkah located in western Saudi Arabia, is the holiest city in Islam. Every year millions of pilgrims flock to Mecca. As a result there has been a lot of construction to cater for the accommodation of the pilgrims, and extensions to the mosque itself. Non-Muslims are not allowed to enter the holy city. Mecca also has a very rich history as it is a very old city which has been considered sacred since the early Middle Ages. In Mecca’s city center there is the Sacred Mosque, considered the holiest site in Islam. The Kaaba is located at the center of the Sacred Mosque, all Muslims pray in the direction of Kaaba, believed to have been originally built by Adam and rebuilt by Abraham and his son Ishmael. Other major sites to see in Mecca are Mina, the Hill of Arafat and Jabal Rahma, the cave Jabal Al Thur and Masjid e Taneem Mosque. Undeniably, Mecca is one of the most spiritual places on Earth.
