Pilgrimage to Mecca: Experience the warmth of faith in the holy city

Mecca Travel Guide Mecca, the holiest city in Islam, is a place of pilgrimage that countless Muslims yearn to visit in their lifetime. Non-Muslims are not allowed to enter the Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) and its surrounding core areas. If you meet the pilgrimage requirements, upon entering the Grand Mosque, the most sacred Kaaba will come into view. It is the direction Muslims face during prayer and the center of the Grand Mosque. Circumambulating the Kaaba counterclockwise to complete the Tawaf ritual fills one's heart with piety and awe. Mecca has a hot and dry climate, so be sure to take sun protection and heatstroke prevention measures when traveling there. The local cuisine is mainly Arabic, with hand-pulled rice and barbecue being popular choices. During Ramadan, there is a custom of fasting during the day, and local religious traditions should be respected. For accommodation, you can choose hotels around the Grand Mosque, which offer convenient access but are relatively expensive. If you have a limited budget, you can also find suitable accommodation in slightly more distant areas. Traffic in Mecca can be congested, so try to avoid rush hour when traveling. You can use local public transport or take a taxi. Prepare yourself to embark on this holy journey, feel the power of faith, and experience the unique culture of Mecca.
