NO CHANCE for non-muslims to enter in MECCA even if you have visa to SAUDI ARABIA

It is very good thinking u want to go to makkah and Madina , but unfortunately non Muslim people are not allow there, because people can not go their for enjoyment, entertainment, to spend annual leave, If some body have interest to go their for prayer, Hajj, Umra then okay. if you want to go then you have to change the religion, secondly u have to give advertisement in the news paper for changing of religion, then u will be in title to go Makka to perform Umra. Otherwise u can not obtain the visa from the Embassy.

Sorry I am disappointing you, but it is a facts.

Learn about Islam, Read and Understand Quran.

Believe that there is only one GOD and Prophet Muhammad(sa)is the last messenger. Convert to Islam and Inshallah you will be in Mecca.

My dear,

These places are not permitted to be visited by non muslims. you can see their picture on the internet. You will be only allowed to visit these holy places if convert to Islam (may Allah guide you to the right pass).
