Private Jet and Air Charter in Mecca, Saudi Arabia

Mecca, also known as Makkah, is a city in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia. Mecca is the spiritual center of the Islamic world, and is strictly off limits to non-Muslims. The birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad, Mecca is the holiest city of Islam and pilgrimage site for all devout believers of the faith. Each year, this city is visited by thousands of Muslims from all over the world, who join in a pilgrimage to Mecca (the Hajj), in fulfillment of one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Mecca is home to several sights of great symbolic importance: the Kaaba (Kissing Stone' Enclosure), Al-Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque), the Mountain of Light, the Plain of Arafat, the Well of Zamzam, and the House of Abdullah Bin Abdul Muttalib. The city has a well developed system of transportation that provides its tourists easy access to the city. Mecca lies 45 km (73mi) east of the Red Sea port of Jeddah, in the narrow, sandy Valley of Abraham. Jeddah has long been the gateway to Mecca, which able-bodied Muslims are required to visit at least once in their lifetime.
