Mecca-The Holy City Of Muslims (They Say NYC Never Sleeps, Look Here)
The most sacrosanct place in Islam is the Ka'ba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Ka'ba is a mosque (worked by Abraham as indicated by Muslim custom) developed around a dark stone.

Notwithstanding supplication, a journey to Mecca is required of each Muslim who can bear the cost of it as one of the Five Pillars of the confidence. Consistently around three million assemble for the real journey, or Hajj, amid the Muslim month of Dhu'l-Hijja, and numerous more play out the minor journey, or Umrah, at different circumstances consistently
Hardly any non-Muslims have ever observed the rituals and ceremonies of the Hajj, as non-Muslims are entirely disallowed from entering Mecca and Medina. Barricades are positioned along streets prompting the city. The most celebrated episode of a non-Muslim going to Mecca was the visit by the British adventurer Sir Richard Burton in 1853. Burton masked himself as an Afghani Muslim to visit and compose Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al Madinah and Mecca.
