Ahhhhh, what a place! — 1 year ago
I am not sure if one must be Muslim to experience what I did at Mecca. Setting aside the spiritual side of affairs (those are personal, you know J), I will comment on the feel I got from the place.
In Mecca I felt like I was at home! I saw people sitting outside Masjid-ul-Haram like it was their home, too. The place is so unpretentious, so all embracing!
But it is a city of tough people, who at least speak harshly among each other, I felt. This was in clear contrast with the people of Madinah, another wonderful place to visit.
