They say that there many ways to go to Mecca in Saudi Arabia but not everyone is blessed to go there. If you have the possibility to visit it, the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) , you belong to the happy people.
If you are still in doubts either to join millions of people to go round the Kaaba, the most sacred Muslim building, or not, put all your uncertainties aside. Hajj, the obligatory religious pilgrimage, must be fulfilled by every adult person, at least, once in his or her life. The Masjid al-Haram complex with the most sacred and the largest mosque in the world is expecting its devotees all year round.
Still now, two mountains, called Al Nour and Thor, preserve the spirit of the 7th century A.D. – the Prophet Muhammad pondered and prayed there a lot while receiving his first revelations.
If you would like to widen and diversify your tourist routes in Mecca, Al Kishwah factory will reveal some of its ancient secrets of beautiful black silk producing and gold thread embroidery making. The calligraphy technique of its master is well known in practically all corners of the world. Why not look at their masterpiece-looking silk fabric tissues, the pieces of which are taken as mementos by millions of pilgrims?
If you are trying to taste true Saudi Arabian food, such restaurants as Hyatt Regency, Al Orjouan, and Afandim, will permit you to enjoy the authentic Arabian food flavor. According to abundant enthusiastic and ecstatic reviews, the best Hummus dish with big daddy chickpeas, hot pita bread, and fried potatoes, is served in Al Bayt restaurant. Afandim is famous for its Manakeesh dish, with a round bread, some traditional cheese, slices of mutton and zaatar herbs. A foodie man from Italy affirmed in his social media post that Manakeesh from Mecca could compete with the best Italian pizzas! And I believe him because the second man from Spain asserts that Fattoush salad with crunchy lettuce, sliced tomatoes, fried pieces of pita, and some other ingredients from Afadim restaurant impressed him more than the majority of Spanish salads. As for Falafel dish, deep fried balls from chicken and fava beans, as well as Tabbouleh for vegetarians from onion, tomatoes, parsley and lemon juice, not speaking about Halloumi, grilled from goat`s and sheep`s milk, they are the most deliciously cooked in Hyatt Regency hotel. I trust impartial reviews and you could trust them too.
If you want to go shopping and to bring some memorable gifts from Saudi Arabia for all your friends and family members, Makkah Mall is acknowledged by Saudis as the most comprehensive shopping center in Saudi Arabia. Authentic local brands, as well as international ones, are presented here in all their diversity. If you took a child with you, Billy Bees indoor playground will be the best place for him or her to kid around in its splendid and safe rainforests.
If you still have some time and reflect upon one more tourist site to visit, Al Wahba Crater, the most enigmatic dessert crater in the world, with its sandy cliffs and palm trees, will add an additional point to your tourist or pilgrimage enjoyment. You should see it with your own eyes; any description will not be on target.
So, I could finish my article with only one phrase, “May God give you the unique chance to sea Mecca!”
