Getting around to the must-see sights of Makkah

There is a good bus service to Jeddah from Makkah which costs under £2 one way. Inside the city of Makkah you must of course visit the Grand Mosque for a truly unforgettable experience, and the Black Stone, although this is always very crowded and unless you absolutely must get close enough to touch, it is best not to try. A trip to see Jabal-al-noor, the Mountain of Light, is a must, although attempting the ascent would be a mistake unless you are very fit! From the cheap hotels in Makkah you will find a huge variety of restaurants and eateries in easy walking distance with everything on offer from traditional Meccan dishes, Indian cuisine and international fast food chains.
