Mecca. In this city, one finds the arch of Mohamed, the prophet of the Saracens who make a pilgrimage here from all regions.
Last week we learned about Mansa Musa and how he made a pilgrimage to Hajj which is in the city of Mecca. Hajj is the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca that takes place in the last month of the year, and that all Muslims are expected to make at least once during their lifetime. Mansa Musa prepared well for the long trip he had to take. His journey through Egypt caused quite a stir because he gave away so much gold that the overall value of gold decreased in Egypt for the next 12 years.
