A visit to Mecca, also known as Makkah, provides an opportunity to explore Islam's most revered city. Because Mecca is a holy city to which Muslims trek on a holiday pilgrimage or spiritual quest, tourism visas are typically not granted. However, non-Muslims can visit during business travel or as a guest of a Saudi Arabian citizen. Once approved for travel, there are plenty of unique experiences waiting for you.
A visit to the Grand Mosque for a spiritual and holy perspective of the Muslim culture is a great starting place. Next, check out the top pilgrimage destination of Jabal Al-Noor or the Mountain of Light, located east of Makkah. Also, be sure to visit the Qasr As-Saqqaf, one of Mecca's oldest buildings, noted for its traditional architecture.
Shopping for souvenirs and the latest fashions is best accomplished at the Makkah Mall. This shopping venue features scores of international retail brands. Of course, no visit is complete without tasting the flavours of the city. The area offers foods from Middle Eastern, Asian, Mediterranean, Indian and North African cultures.
Mecca is located about 73 kilometres east of Jeddah and flights to Mecca typically arrive in King Abdulaziz International Airport. Travel to your Mecca hotel is typically by bus. Because of the popularity of the city during Hajj, buses provide direct access to the city. A hired car is reliable transportation from your Mecca accommodation to points of interest, and are available to book on Wotif.
Travelling to Mecca may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Get it right and book with Wotif. Mix and match flights and accommodation to get the most savings and you’ll soon be in the heart of “the Mother of All Settlements.”
