Makkah (also knows as Mecca or Makkah al-Mukarramah), situated in western Saudi Arabia, is the holiest city in Islam. As such it is prohibited for Non-Muslims to visit the city. Booking cheap flights to Makkah is of great religious value to Muslims.
Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and thus mandatory for all Muslims with the bodily and monetary capacity to make it. Over ten million Muslims visit the city throughout the month of Dhu'l-Hijjah once in a year. Visits outside this month are called minor pilgrimages or Umrah, and whilst not mandatory are strongly encouraged by booking cheap Makkah flights for Umrah. |
