Holy City of Makkah

The Holy City of Makkah (Mecca) in Saudi Arabia is the birthplace of Islam and its most sacred site. It hosts the Masjid al-Haram mosque, which contains the Kaaba, a cube-shaped structure that Muslims believe was built by prophets Abraham and Ishmael. Every year, millions of Muslims from around the world visit Makkah to perform the Hajj pilgrimage, a religious duty for those who are able. Makkah holds deep spiritual significance, serving as a symbol of unity for Muslims worldwide and a focal point for prayer and religious observance.
