Mecca
Officially known as Makkah al-Mukarramah, this city holds a sacred place as the capital of Mecca Province and the holiest city in Islam, revered by Muslims worldwide.
About
Often referred to as the birthplace of Islam, Mecca is an extremely holy city which receives millions of Muslim pilgrims every year for Hajj. Mecca boasts the world's largest mosque, the Masjid Al-Haram, with its immense 160,000 square yards of floor space capable of accommodating up to 1.2 million worshippers simultaneously. The Kaaba, a monumental stone structure at the heart of the Masjid Al-Haram, is encompassed by a black curtain called the Kiswah, adorned with inscriptions marking its historical repairs. The city offers a plethora of other holy sites to explore, including the Makkah Museum, Masjid Al Jinn, Jannat al-Mu'alla Cemetery, Mount Arafat, Mina Tented City, Jamarat Bridge, and Jabal Al Nour. The striking Abraj Al Bait Towers, also known as the Clock Towers, comprise a complex of skyscrapers housing the Makkah Royal Clock Tower, home to the Fairmont Makkah hotel. Please note that non-Muslims cannot enter or pass through Mecca. Identification may be required upon entry, and attempting to enter as a non-Muslim can result in penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions, here are the answers.
Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
