Best Answer

Hajj is based in Mecca (Makkah) because Hajj rituals are according to the prophet Abraham practices in Mecca and its surroundings. Abraham raised the foundations of Kaaba the oldest worship House of Allah. Turning around Kaaba for praying dates back to these ages. Many other Hajj rituals are in memorization of the prophet Abraham and his wife Hajar and his son the prophet Ismael.
