Makkah

The spiritual heart of Islam, home to the Kaaba and the destination for Hajj and Umrah.

Makkah al-Mukarramah, 'Makkah the Honored,' is the most sacred city in the world for Muslims. It is the direction (Qibla) to which Muslims turn for their five daily prayers and the destination for the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages. A journey to Makkah is the ultimate spiritual aspiration for a Muslim, a response to the call of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), and a chance to walk in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
