These days Mecca witnesses the biggest Muslim spiritual congregation throughout the year where Muslims come from everywhere to perform one of the obligations of Islam. It is pilgrimage to the Kabah, a sacred house that was established long before Islam.

Hajj was prescribed upon Muslims as indicated by the Quran in Allah’s saying,

And Hajj to the House (Kabah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those who can afford the expenses; and whoever disbelieves [i.e. denies], then Allah stands not in need of any of the mankind and all that exists. (Aal `Imran 3:97)
