There was no Hajj before Islam as it is one of the 5 Pillars of Islam. However, the pagan Arabs used to perform their own kind of pilgrimage, which consisted of each tribe in Arabia visiting the Holy Kabah with idols which they had made (the pagan Arabs did consider the Holy Kabah as a sacred sanctuary).
