Mecca is the holiest city in Islam, the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the site of the Kaaba, the direction (qibla) toward which Muslims worldwide face in prayer. The city is centered on the Masjid al-Haram, the Grand Mosque that surrounds the Kaaba and is the largest mosque in the world, capable of holding over a million worshippers during peak times such as Hajj. Millions of Muslims travel to Mecca each year to perform Hajj and Umrah, making it one of the most visited cities on earth for religious purposes. Beyond the Grand Mosque itself, the city and its surrounding areas contain numerous other mosques, Islamic institutions, and facilities built specifically to serve the needs of pilgrims from every part of the Muslim world.
