Before Muhammad, the Kaaba served as a central religious site for the various tribes of pre-Islamic Arabia, where they would gather for pilgrimage and worship. It housed numerous idols representing different deities, making it a focal point for polytheistic worship. The Kaaba also facilitated trade and social interaction among the tribes, enhancing its significance in Mecca as a cultural and economic hub. Thus, it was a place of spiritual significance and communal identity long before the advent of Islam.
Some people go to the Kaaba to touch the Black stone. Or they go to preform sacred rituals for thier religion.
donot differentiate the pilgrimage as old and modern. the KAABA is same from centuries,created by prophet MUHAMMAD SAWW. the moderism is in our minds. those who actually loves MUHAMMAD SAWW AND MOLA ALI AS (the successor of MUHAMMAD SAWW) and performs pilgrimage at KAABA their faiths,spirits travels with their masses. only shia performs pilgrimage like this.

Turning around Kaaba for seven rounds is a ritual worship to be done either independently or in context with the rituals of hajj (pilgrimage) or Omra (minor pilgrimage). Also, Muslims perform Salat (praying); that is the 2nd pillar of Islam five pillars; facing Kaaba.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) returned to Mecca (Makkah) for two reasons:To remove the Idols (worshiped by unbelievers) that spread around Kaba.To allow Muslims to practice their worship of Hajj to Mecca with no harm or restrictions.Muhammad and his followers returned to Makkah (or Mecca) to get it available for hajj (or ilgrimage) because they were formerly deprived from doing hajj. However, when the Meccas (or Makkah) surrendered to them without fight, prophet (PBUH) forgave all of them and didn't take any revenge against any of the Meccas who tortured Muslims and deprived them from their money and properties before they were obliged to immigrate from Mecca or against who fought him and his followers after he left Mecca to Medina. He and his followers removed all the idols around Kaaba. Then, they all returned to Medina without getting with them back any of the wealth or properties in Mecca even their own former money or properties.
