The Caaba, surrounded by colonnades of the
mosque. The pilgrimage to Mecca is the most sacred observance of Islam
(formerly called Mohammedanism). Pilgrims from all Islamic (Mohammedan
or Muslim) countries gather at the sacred mosque. The city of Mecca is
about 45 miles, two camel marches, inland from the Red Sea. A railroad
from the north will soon reach Mecca; it already extends as far as
Medina (as of 1922). Click here to enlarge the image. |
