Makkah is a pivotal city in Islam, revered as the birthplace of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the site where the Quran was revealed. It hosts Al Masjid Al Haram (The Grand Mosque), the largest mosque in the world, which contains the Kaaba. The Kaaba defines the Qiblah-the mandatory direction of prayer for all Muslims globally-cementing Makkah's role as the spiritual center of the faith. Pilgrims often visit the Hira Cultural District, home to Jabal Al-Nour and the Hira Cave, the birthplace of revelation.
The city welcomes millions of pilgrims annually for the Hajj (one of the five pillars of Islam) and the year-round Umrah pilgrimage, offering profound moments of reflection, peace, and connection. Overlooking the Holy Mosque, the majestic Clock Tower provides breathtaking views and is a modern landmark. Beyond its spiritual significance, visitors can explore cultural sites like the Makkah Museum to view pre-Islamic artifacts or the Masjid-e-Aisha (Masjid Al-Tanʿīm), one of the key pilgrimage mosques.
