As your travel advisor, I recommend preparing for your journey by reading a few helpful guides. For Umrah and your stay in Makkah, consider "The Ultimate Guide to Umrah" by Abu Muneer Ismail Davids, which gives a practical step-by-step process for pilgrims. Also, "Hajj & Umrah Made Easy" by Shaykh Muhammad S. Adly is a concise resource. For a broader cultural and historical context, "In the Footsteps of the Prophet: Lessons from the Life of Muhammad" by Tariq Ramadan offers insightful perspectives. If you're interested in exploring Madinah or Jeddah, Lonely Planet’s "Saudi Arabia" travel guide is also highly recommended. Safe travels and let me know if you need any further assistance!

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.
