One day in Makkah, Saudi Arabia
A day through Makkah’s best-known sights that lie close together: Abraj Al Bait, Clock Tower Museum, Al-Masjid Al-Haram, Al-Rayah Mosque, Mecca and Mosque of the Jinn. 5 stops, about 1.8 km between them in straight lines; the streets make it longer.

Good to know
- Each day starts at the best-known place not yet seen and adds the best known within a short walk of it, then puts them in the shortest order. The places come from Wikidata (CC0), ranked by how many Wikipedias have an article about them.
- The map draws each day’s walk along the streets, routed by Valhalla on OpenStreetMap; the distances beside the stops are straight lines.
- Opening hours, tickets and closures are not checked: each place’s Wikipedia article has them.
