Mecca [SEP] Introduction
Makkah, officially Makkah al-Mukarramah () and commonly shortened to Mecca, is the holiest city in Islam and the capital of the Makkah Province of Saudi Arabia. The city is inland from Jeddah on the Red Sea, in a narrow valley above sea level. Its last recorded population was 1,578,722 in 2015. The estimated metro population in 2020 is 2.042 million, making it the third-most populated city in the kingdom. Pilgrims more than triple this number every year during the "Ḥajj" pilgrimage, observed in the twelfth Hijri month of "Dhūl-Ḥijjah". Makkah is the birthplace of Muhammad. The Hira cave atop the "Jabal al-Nur" ("Mountain of Light") is just outside the city and is where Muslims believe the Qur'an was first revealed to Muhammad.
