Mecca: The Holiest City in Islam
مكة المكرمة
Mecca is the holiest city in Islam, birthplace of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and home to the Grand Mosque that houses the Kaaba. Every year, millions of Muslims perform the Hajj pilgrimage and Umrah. The city has undergone massive expansion to accommodate growing pilgrim numbers, including the Abraj Al-Bait clock tower complex and expanded Grand Mosque capacity.
