Mekka and the Medina in Saudi Arabia.\n\nI am not Muslim, and planning to remain a non Muslim.  The reason is because I can go to any other place in the world, but these places I am not and will not be permitted to enter them, I want to visit them before I die.  To show respect, not to do any disrespect or harm others.

Because Makkah, Medina and the Dome of the Rock are places of worship, not tourism.\n\nThere is only one purpose of visiting those places and that is worship.  If you are not there to worship, you have no purpose there.\n\nYour Visa into these places is to declare: There is no God but the One God and Muhammed is His Last Messeneger

Dubai is a metropolitan city of UAE (hence there is no cities in Dubai. it set between Europe and Asia, on the southern shores of the Arabian Gulf, Dubai is the jewel in the crown of the United Arab Emirates. The second largest of the seven Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Fujaira, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Qaiwain), Dubai is like an oasis in the sweeping deserts. A city of alluring contrasts, Dubai is a cosmopolitan society with a global lifestyle and a culture rooted in, and secured by, age-old Islamic traditions. It is this unique personality of the city that draws in visitors, whether for business or for pleasure, from the four corners of the earth by land, sea and air. In fact, the Dubai International Airport, a vital link for business, commerce and tourism, is considered the busiest airport in the Middle East. Its state of the art facilities and runways permit daily take-offs and landings carrying visitors in and out of the emirate. This airport can be reached by daily flights from anywhere internationally on Emirates Airlines

Actually I agree. Although I do not believe it is "holy" at all, I believe that other people do have a right to their beliefs and that in order to preserve that right it would be best to make Mecca and independant country.

Right\nSalat (prayer) is of the most important of the pillars of the deen (religion) and establishing salat like Allah ta'aala and thus His Messenger SAW (peace be upon him) want us to is the best way to get close to the Lord of the Heavens and Earth. This includes establishing salat in jama'ah (congregation). \n\na blind man said, "Oh Messenger of Allah, I do not have someone to guide me to the Mosque," and thus asked the Messenger SAW to grant him special permission not to attend congregational prayers. As he was leaving, the Messenger called him and said "Do you hear the call? ", he said "yes". He SAW said, "Then answer." Authentic versions narrated by Ahmed and others came as: narrated by Ibn Maktoom that he said: "Oh Messenger of Allah, I am blind, live far away, and have a guide that does not suit me, so can't you give me consent to pray at home?" He said "Do you hear the call?" Ibn Maktoom replied "Yes". The Prophet SAW then said "I cannot find an excuse for you."

Well its symbolic and it is for the unity of Muslims so that they don't get confused  in praying and should be praying to one point. secondly Mecca is in the mid point of the  world  so  easy for anyone to face that  and pray. Well the prayers are answered even if one go somewhere and could'nt find out the right direction and had  prayed  in some wrong direction . In the beginning there was some confusion about which direction one should pray , so to make it easy Allah has ordered to pray towards Macca.its just for the ease of muslims. Yes its ordered in Quran.\nQuran 2:144\n"Indeed We see the turning of your face to heaven, so We shall surely turn you to a qiblah which you shall like; turn then your face towards the Sacred Mosque, and wherever you are, turn your face towards it, and those who have been given the Book most surely know that it is the truth from their Lord; and Allah is not at all heedless of what they do

It saves on the cost of vanadlism. Seriously. Because it's a place of worship and well. Some people just can't help themselves. \n\nThere are other reasons as well, but I don't know them.

Allah is their name for God. \nMuhammad is Allah's prophet, it is based on the Koran that has the reveled words of God. It can be hard to understand and that's why people understand it in different ways and some think it calls for violence but in fact, Islam is, just as Christianism and Judaism, a religion of peace and love. \nThe Mosque is the place of worship, the pray in front of the quibla wall, oriented to the Meca, on these wall there is a place called Mihrab that has a Koran inside. There is, sometimes a frontyard with a fountain and a minaret from where the muslims are called for the pray.\nMuslim art doesn't show images of Allah or Muhammad, or other people, it is beliebed that images are banned by Koran, but this isn't true, though it insist on not falling into idolatry like other religions.

It's located in the Saudi Arabian city of Medina, enclosed in a complex called "Masjid Al-Nabawi Al-Sherif". I don't know about westerners "digging" into it; it's very difficult for non-muslims to enter the cities where holy sites exist in Saudi Arabia, let alone have access to go digging up graves and historical sites.\n\nBy the way, people don't make hajj for the purpose of going to visit this gravesite.

I believe that the holy quaran has some good priciples, but some things I can not believe.  I believe that ANY human 'claiming'whether islamic or christian can be a terrorist. There is a bunch of bad apples everywhere you look, just as there are good apples. I have nothing against Muslim, their religion, or the Quran.  I do have a problem with terrorist, whether they claim to be religous or not.

In Islam, the Hajj commemorates a number of events in the life of Abraham and his family in Mecca. Abraham is a prophetic figure and patriarchal father who features in the holy scriptures of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. These are sometimes collectively known as the Abrahamic faiths and are all based upon the belief in one God. \n\nDuring his life, Abraham endured a succession of trials of his faith in God. One of the most significant began with his and his family's departure from Palestine to Arabia to protect his wife Hagar and son Ishmael from the seething jealousy of his first wife Sarah. Upon God's command, Abraham left Hagar and Ishmael with provisions in a desolate desert valley in Mecca, trusting that God would care for them. \n \nThe Sa'i - Pilgrims rush between Safa and Marwah \nWhen their provisions ran out, Hagar desperately searched for water for her son in the harsh desert conditions. She ran frantically between the hills of Safa and Mawah before eventually collapsing in despair and beseeched God to help her. Miraculously, a spring of water soon gushed forth at Ishmael's feet and is known as the Zam Zam well. Pilgrims to this day re-enact her desperate search for water by walking seven times between the knolls of Safa and Mawah called the Sa'i. \n\nIn time, passing traders and nomads stopped in the desert valley and requested Hagar's permission to water their camels. When Abraham returned, he was astounded to see his wife running a well, trading water with passers-by. As the traders and nomads decided to settle in the valley, the small settlement grew into the city of Mecca and the well of Zam Zam proved to be a lucrative water source for thousands of years.\n\nOn another of his visits, God ordained Abraham to build a dedicated place of worship for him and to call all believers on an annual pilgrimage there. Together with Ishmael, Abraham built a 50-foot high cubical building known as the Ka'aba on a sanctified place first established by Adam. This building still stands today and pilgrims circumnavigate it when performing Tawaf.\n\nThe most testing trial of Abraham's faith was God's command for the patriarch to slay his own son. After much agonising and an encounter with Satan which culminated in the stoning of the Devil, Abraham agreed to obey but God spared him and accepted the sacrifice of a ram instead. This is the basis of the Stoning of the Pillars ritual in Mina during the Hajj.\n\n \nThe Ka'aba today \nDuring their lifetimes, Abraham and Ishmael maintained the Hajj but within centuries, the worship at the Kaaba descended into paganism and the worship of many Gods. Over 300 hundred idols were placed in the Ka'aba and much singing, dancing, nudity and immorality occurred around it. Eventually, God sent down another Prophet to restore the Kaaba and the Hajj to their correct paths.\n\nIn 632CE on his return to Mecca from exile in Medina, Mohammad embarked on a journey with thousands of his followers. Taking Mecca with little resistance, Mohammad destroyed the idols, reclaimed the Ka'aba and restored the Hajj rites to their original purity and devotion to one God alone. Mohammad also imbued the Hajj ceremonies with remembrance of the Prophets divinely dedicated lives.\n\nOn Mohammad's Farewell Hajj in 632CE, 200,000 followers assembled to hear his vision of an all-encompassing political, social, economic and spiritual Islam. Delivering his sermon on Mount Arafat, Mohammad espoused a belief in one God, the equality of all Muslim believers, the sanctity of life, property and honour, women's rights and the notion of the Ummah. \n\nNow, millions of pilgrims assemble to hear sermons at Arafat during the zenith of the Hajj on a pilgrimage serving to test one's faith in God, family and the physical and spiritual self.
