Mecca (/ˈmɛkə/) or Makkah (Arabic: مكة Makkah) is a city in the Hejaz in Saudi Arabia. It is the capital of that kingdom's Makkah Region. The city is located 70 km (43 mi) inland from Jeddah in a narrow valley at a height of 277 m (909 ft) above sea level. Its resident population in 2012 was roughly 2 million, although visitors more than triple this number every year during the hajj ("pilgrimage") period held in the twelfth Muslim lunar month of Dhu al-Hijjah.
As the birthplace of Muhammad and the site of Muhammad's first revelation of the Quran (specifically, a cave 3 km (2 mi) from Mecca), Mecca is regarded as the holiest city in the religion of Islam and a pilgrimage to it known as the Hajj is obligatory for all able Muslims. Mecca is home to the Kaaba, by majority description Islam's holiest site, as well as being the direction of Muslim prayer. Mecca was long ruled by Muhammad's descendants, the sharifs, acting either as independent rulers or as vassals to larger polities. It was conquered by Ibn Saud in 1925. In its modern period, Mecca has seen tremendous expansion in size and infrastructure, home to structures such as the Abraj Al Bait, also known as the Makkah Royal Clock Tower Hotel, the world's third tallest building and the building with the largest amount of floor area. During this expansion, Mecca has lost some historical structures and archaeological sites, such as the Ajyad Fortress. Today, more than 15 million Muslims visit Mecca annually, including several million during the few days of the Hajj. As a result, Mecca has become one of the most cosmopolitan and diverse cities in the Muslim world, despite the fact that non-Muslims are prohibited from entering the city.

Jährlich pilgern etwa drei Millionen Menschen aus aller Welt nach Mekka und Medina. Der Besuch dieser heiligen Stätten des Islam ist der Höhepunkt im religiösen Leben gläubiger Muslime. Für Nicht-Muslime ist Mekka bis heute nicht zugänglich, und auch Film- und Videoaufnahmen waren bisher streng untersagt. Dem muslimischem Filmemacher Said Bakhtaoui ist es gelungen, eine Drehgenehmigung für die verbotenen Orte zu erhalten. Mit der Kamera begleitet er eine Gruppe von Pilgern aus Frankreich.

Umara Travel by Bus and Guide in Urdu Language Historical Locations of Mecca 8 April 2013 Saudi Arabia
Mecca, the holiest city in Islam is only 70 km from Jeddah where I was staying for a few weeks. Mecca is where Prophet Mohammed was born and where the Quoran was composed. I was surprised to see that Mecca was actually a big city, in my mind, I always thought that it was a small holy place with the Kabaa. The Kabaa is a cubical shaped building, covered with a beautiful black cloth embroidered with gold Quranic verses. All Muslims around the world face the Kaaba during prayers, no matter where they are When performing piligrimage, Muslims walk around the Kaaba 7 times while reciting verses. When reaching the spot of the Black Stone (in the eastern corner of the kabaa), the piligrims salute it. It is believed that this stone fell from Heaven. the piligrims also drink ZamZam water, the hol...

Umara Travel by Bus and Guide in Urdu Language Historical Locations of Medina 4 April 2013 Saudi Arabia
Millions of Pilgrims travel to Mecca saudi arabia every year to perform the hajj. An obligation on all able muslims once in a lifetime. But apart from the holy sites revered by muslims around the world, CCTV's Yasser hakim reports on some of the other interesting attractions in the city.
Happy news to all Muslims. High speed Bullet train from Masjidul Haram to Madina al munawwara, Makkah al Mukarrama to Masjidul Nabavi,
Globe Trekker Megan McCormick travels to Barcelona in the Spanish region of Catalunya where she discovers a culture which prides itself on being different. With its sunkissed beaches, and Gothic palaces it’s an Olympian city worthy of the gods and the modernist capital of the world where some of the greatest artists on earth found their fame. First off, Megan travels back in time to the city’s “grey years” - between the end of the civil war and General Franco’s death – when there was a huge zest for change, to move on to a new era. It stoked the desire to transform the city itself, while the Olympic Games bid and then the Games themselves provided extra incentive, not to mention cash. The finest architects and urban planners were persuaded to take part in this vision. The axis upon which ...

Siargao is addictive. The first time I stayed 4 days. The second time, almost a year later I stayed for 10 days. Still not enough. After a week in Siargao I considered buying a piece of land there. I just thought to myself: Why not? Maybe I could stay forever...?

This video captures some high points of an Overseas Adventure Travel trip to Egypt (November 3-15, 2010). Most people in our group flew EgyptAir from New York to Cairo. The airline was a pleasant surprise. Many pilgrims flew with us to Cairo and were starting their trip for Haj, a trip of a life time for devout Muslims. They would continue on to Mecca. It was interesting talking to these gentle people about their faith and how it plays such a central point in their lives. Islam and its facets would be a topic of discovery for many on the trip. We found some men with dark marks on their fore heads caused by touching their heads to the ground five times a day during their prayers. These marks are considered signs of piety and devotion. In Cairo we saw the Pyramids and the Sphinx. ...

In the episode of “Boars and hunters” we will embark on a travel to the Asian part of Turkey. In the high mountains of Alanya we will see whether it is possible to undertake driven hunt for wild boars. Thanks to our tireless hunter with a camera we will follow the pushers through the dense bushes overgrown at the rocky ridges of the mountainous slopes, in order to personally drive the wild boars to our guest-hunters from Italy. After the high mountain driven hunt we will go further South at the very Equator. There, in the hunting mecca of the modern world – Uganda – we will witness an extraordinary hunting achievement. Gary Bogner will be our hunting guide and will show us how to shoot world records with a bow and several arrows. Will he be able in addition to the world record for Watherbu...
On October 17, 2016, the Institute for Public Knowledge hosted a book launch for Rebecca Solnit and Joshua Jelly-Schapiro's Nonstop Metropolis: A New York City Atlas. The editors were in conversation with several contributors, including IPK Visiting Scholar Garnette Cadogan. Nonstop Metropolis, the culminating volume in a trilogy of atlases, conveys innumerable unbound experiences of New York City through twenty-six imaginative maps and informative essays. Bringing together the insights of dozens of experts—from linguists to music historians, ethnographers, urbanists, and environmental journalists—amplified by cartographers, artists, and photographers, it explores all five boroughs of New York City and parts of nearby New Jersey. We are invited to travel through Manhattan’s playgrounds, f...
(This is my first attempt at editing something together. The music is Incubus, "Aqueous Transmissions". I hope I don't get sued!) Too much plane turbulence. Full day of transit. Two blond girls act like selfish children, running off after the plane hits the ground, to get away from M and her young daughter. I understand they want to go at a faster pace, but it is totally bitchy and juvenile of them to not explain their plan to split from mom and child, and leaving A and I to make a choice. We go with the two blonds the first night in Trivundram, but I am so angry at them for their actions. I tell A I'm not following them. A decides to go with me and the next day we book a train to Cochi. No problem. 4 hour train ride. Conversations with helpful, thickly accented passenger whom we scarcely...
