Almost as if it's all about the kerching and not the spirituality. 🤷♂️ There's a bunch of hotels housed there rather than one big one iirc. Nice 5 star ones that obviously not everyone can afford but nothing too opulent I think like some of the stuff you see in Dubai etc. Their main attraction is you can walk to the kaaba from the hotel rather than spend time in buses and traffic like most people. Mind MBS does have plans to further commercialize the whole thing and of course humans will inevitably make everything about money and class.

aimaad22 4156 Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I honestly do get people getting frustrated with that touristy types that just seem to be there for selfies. I reckon if you're a lifelong fan who's waited your whole life to visit you'll spend the time taking in the atmosphere and screaming at the match. That and the quality Kebab shop someone posted the other day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like this when viewed from the east Incidentally, you can see it on the Hobbit Movie Poster , if you zoom in to the right of Gandaft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
