Discover the spiritual and historical heart of Islam in Makkah with a comfortable stay at Al Safwah Hotel Tower 3, just steps away from the Holy Mosque. Make the most of your weekend with group Umrah arrangements, and choose to expand your journey to Madinah or Jeddah for a more comprehensive experience.

For a deeper understanding and enriched experience, I recommend reading "In the Footsteps of the Prophet: Lessons from the Life of Muhammad" by Tariq Ramadan and "The Road to Mecca" by Muhammad Asad. For practical guidance, "The Ultimate Guide to Umrah" by Abu Muneer Ismail Davids is a great companion. Additionally, you may consider hiring a local certified guide in Makkah, as they can provide invaluable insights and assistance throughout your pilgrimage. Let me know if you’d like recommendations for guided tours or further reading!

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.
