Historical Places in Makkah – Part 2

Hajj is an annual obligatory Islamic pilgrimage that has to be performed by every Muslim (physically & financially capable) at least once in a life time. The days of hajj are fixed,  8th to 12th (or 13th as optional) of Dhul-hajj which is the last month of Islamic year. Each year, approximately two to three million Muslims come to Makkah during this short time period to perform hajj. This number could be much more but Saudi Arabia has a quota system for each country and it issues a definite number of Hajj visas to keep things at manageable level.
