The Kaaba, located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, is the holiest site in Islam, serving as the qibla (direction of prayer) for Muslims worldwide. It is the central focus of the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages, which draw millions of visitors annually. Due to the massive crowds, accessibility can be challenging, especially for individuals with mobility issues; facilities are available, but assistance is highly recommended. While solo visits are possible, joining a guided tour can enhance the experience and provide valuable insights into the site's history and religious significance. Note that non-Muslims are not permitted to enter Mecca. The cost of visiting primarily depends on travel, accommodation, and visa expenses. The Hajj pilgrimage has specific seasonal restrictions based on the Islamic lunar calendar, while Umrah can be performed year-round, excluding the Hajj period. A typical visit to the immediate area of the Kaaba may last several hours, primarily for prayer and circumambulation (Tawaf).
