As your travel advisor, I highly recommend preparing for your Umrah journey with insightful guides and books. For a comprehensive understanding of Makkah, you might enjoy "The Road to Makkah" by Muhammad Asad, which provides a unique perspective on the city’s spiritual significance. To ensure a smooth Umrah experience, consider reading "A Guide to Umrah" by Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani, known for its step-by-step practical advice. Additionally, "In the Footsteps of the Prophet: Lessons from the Life of Muhammad" by Tariq Ramadan offers valuable context about the sites you will visit. If you prefer visual guides, Lonely Planet’s “Saudi Arabia” travel guide includes up-to-date information and tips for visitors to Makkah. Happy travels and may your journey be blessed!

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.
