Mecca, in western Saudi Arabia, is the holiest city in Islam and the destination of the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages.
Non-Muslims are not allowed to travel to Mecca. Hajj and Umrah visas and permits are handled through Saudi Arabia’s official Nusuk platform, and the rules change, so check current requirements before you plan.
