No. Saudis are so disrespectful to history that I don't want to see it as a historical place, either. Remember how they pulled down the old castle built to protect Kabe and how they erected a luxury hotel in its place?
Sorry, they are all in for the money. They don't respect their own history and their own religion.

After doing research this past year, I was able to calculate the revenue the Saudi government raked in during each Hajj.
Needless to say... I would get more satisfaction paying for someone that desires to go for their faith, than for my own. I see no reason to give the Saudi government finances they would rather pocket than use for the poor of the world.

No, last week I thought about driving there, but it was like 600km from riyadh! And there was a certain chance that they would not let me in so I gave up. Maybe next time :P

Nope but I would like to go there out of religious reasons. As a tourist to go and see? No thanks. It's too hot and I am not particularly fond of Saudis.

they don't let infidels in. :) Which is fine cause the world has many places I'd like to go.
how do you think they check to see is a Pilgrim is Muslim or not?
Do you want to go?

No and this may sound a little bit harsh but i will never go there. Their logic makes me sick. Their way of taking the religion makes me sick.
Blunt: i totally agree with you.
