Mecca, Saudi Arabia – Islam’s Holiest City
Mecca welcomed 18.5 million pilgrims in 2025, with Hajj alone attracting over 1.67 million international pilgrims (90% from abroad) . The Kaaba within Masjid al-Haram is Islam’s most sacred site. Umrah pilgrimage continues year-round, offering consistent tourism flow beyond the Hajj season .
B2B Take: Highly regulated but high-yield. Saudi Vision 2030 is expanding religious tourism infrastructure significantly. Agents need specialized knowledge of visa processes, accommodation booking windows, and logistical coordination for large groups.
