(2) MAKKAH, SAUDI ARABIA


City in Saudi Arabia with 1.4 million inhabitants (2003 estimate). Makkah is located about 80 km from the Red Sea Coast, around a natural well.


Besides that, Makkah is the most holy city in Islam. The city is respected from being the first place created on earth, as well as the place where Ibrahim (AS) together with his son Isma'il (AS), built the Ka'ba. The Ka'ba, the centre of Islam, is a rectangular building made of bricks. Around the Ka'ba is the great mosque, Al-Haram, and around the mosque, in between the mountains, are the houses that make up Makkah.


In addition, Makkah's importance as a centre of religious teaching must not be overstated. Very soon in the beginning of the Muslim expansion, religious teaching moved to other places in the Muslim world. Makkah is important in two points: Centre of the compulsory pilgrimage, and a main point for all Muslims.


Today, many of the people living in Makkah are pilgrims wanting to study Islam in the very centre of the world. But this learning is primarily aimed at normal people, and even today Muslim religion is exercised other places. But for Saudi Arabia, Makkah is the centre of religious teaching.


Apart from the services for pilgrimage there are only modest economical activities going on. Every year some 2 million pilgrims attend the Hajj, and this number is now regulated, where each country can send a fixed number of adherents. The numbers of Muslims coming to Makkah for the Umrah, the smaller pilgrimage are far less, and not in time.
