Mecca is considered the holiest place in the world to Muslims. The Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him) was born in Mecca and it was this city that formed the focus of much of what he did while he was alive. The Great Mosque which houses the Kaaba and Zamzam Well is located in the city. The Zamzam Well is believed to have been the source of water for Hagar and Ismail when they were abandoned in the desert by Abraham.
