Mecca is important because it is holiest city for Muslims for having Kaaba surrounded by the biggest and most sacred Mosque in the world that is called Al-Masjid Al-Haram or the Grand Mosque. This mosque can afford a capacity of 4 millions of Muslims during Hajj.


In addition, Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) was born in Mecca. The first revelation of Quran by God through the Angel Gabriel was while the Prophet was in Mecca.
