History:

Mecca has a rich history that dates back to thousands of years. It was a center of trade and commerce and was also considered a sacred place by the local tribes. According to Islamic tradition, the city was visited by Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael, who is believed to have built the Kaaba.

In the 7th century, Prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca and began preaching the message of Islam. The city resisted his message and eventually, he and his followers were forced to emigrate to Medina in 622, an event known as the Hijra. Over the next few years, Prophet Muhammad and his followers returned to conquer Mecca and it became one of the major centers of Islam.

In the centuries that followed, the city grew in importance as a center of pilgrimage and trade, and it continues to play a central role in the Islamic world today. The Kaaba and the city’s many holy sites remain major destinations for Muslim pilgrims from around the world, and the city is also home to a growing number of modern amenities and infrastructure.
