Among the duties God imposes upon every Muslim capable of doing so is a pilgrimage to the holy places in and around Mecca in Arabia. By collecting the firsthand accounts of these travelers and shaping their experiences into a detailed narrative, this title provides a history of the central ritual of Islam from its remote pre-Islamic origins.
