Mecca is famous for having the Kaaba, and its mosque (Al Masdjid Al Haram). This is were Hajj and Omra take place. It is the sacred city were the Prophet Mohammed was born and grew up in. The Kaaba is what contains "Al Hajar Al Aswad" which mean "the black stone" which plays a very important part in the historical paragraphs of the Quraan.
