Hotels, taxis, tour guides, souveniers, restaurants, "donations" etc.
Seems like big business! Looks like Mecca hasn't changed much since they stopped selling idols. How much money do you think they collect from "pilgrims" who are REQUIRED to come there?

No one is talking about Israel, or the Vatican. Distraction is a childish tactic used by people who can't honestly answer a question.
Some people just can't control themselves, and have to resort to personal insults. I think that says alot.

Someone is making a lot of money. Tell me, how much of this goes to the poor and what charities are run in the name of Islam?

But Saudi government faces alot of problems with security and has to spend alot of money to fix the situation as many people go to Mecca and disappear as illegal immigrants( approximately 50,000/ year) and if they find them then the government has to pay for accommodation, food and tickets.

Why you care, get a life. Well how much does the vatican makes from visitors, how much churches makes from donations and they use it to pay families of molestated kids by the priests.

Despite being the SIMPLEST STRUCTURE ,the KABAA in Mecca attracts all muslims and not all non-muslims alike.
Therefore, dear its not a TOURIST place.
It is meant to give you mental strenght and beseides other feelings, the fact that all humen being whether rich or poor,black or white, man or woman are E Q U A L. [ This phenomenon is not found anywhere in the world ]
So stop hating us. it leads you to nowhere but destruction.
Did your religion teach you to hate others. I dont think so..
God bless you.

Enough, but for a good cause. And every Muslim that has the money, and is physically capable is required to go.
