Well the main difference would be that Lourdes is a Catholic pilgrimage and Hajj is for Muslims. Hajj is also a pilgrimage that every Muslim who is physically and mentally able must take, whereas Lourdes is different it is a pilgrimage that people may take by choice. Another is that Lourdes is in France and Mecca is in Saudi Arabia.
The Hajj is a pilgrimage undertaken by Muslims who go to Mecca. Lourdes is a place of pilgrimage for Catholics. Millions of Muslims go each year to Mecca and millions of Catholics go each year to Lourdes.

Yes you can compare anything. Hajj and Lourdes are actually very similar. In both pilgrimages people are left changed and live a better new life. Also water and walking are huge themes in both these pilgrimages. Although there are some difference to as the founders of these pilgrimages were very different people Bernadette and Mohammed.
Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, like, Hajj is a pilgrimage to Mecca in Islam, where you gotta do all these rituals and stuff, while Lourdes is a pilgrimage site in France for Catholics where people go for healing and miracles. So, like, one's in Saudi Arabia, and the other's in France. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Muslims typically do not visit Lourdes, as it is a Catholic pilgrimage site known for its connection to the Virgin Mary and reported miraculous healings. However, some Muslims may visit Lourdes out of curiosity or to explore the cultural and historical aspects of the site. Generally, Muslim pilgrimage practices focus on Islamic holy sites, such as Mecca for Hajj.
The resident population of Lourdes is between 15,000 and 18,000; although those who visit Lourdes each year are estimated at well over five million.
