Mecca is a sacred Moslem city that only Mohammedans can enter. People who are not Mohammedans can only get within 8 miles of the city. It is located in Saudi Arabia. Back in the year 570 Mohammed was born in the city of Mecca. The city had a sacred cube-shaped granite temple which they believed was built by Abraham. This holy temple was being defiled by the worship of idols. Mohammed preached against this and taught the people about God. The temple is still there today. Every year 200,000,000 people take a dangerous journey to the city where they worship.
