Mecca Province

The province spans 153,128 square kilometers across the Hejaz region, featuring mountains, deserts, and a 700-kilometer coastline along the Red Sea.

The region gained recognition during Roman and Byzantine periods as a central point for trade routes connecting Mediterranean territories with South Arabian settlements.

The province contains multiple Islamic landmarks, with its capital Mecca receiving millions of Muslim pilgrims from around the world each year.

The region divides into 17 governorates, with Jeddah serving as the main commercial center and primary gateway through its international airport and seaport.

Entry to certain areas within the province, particularly the city of Mecca, remains exclusively reserved for individuals who practice Islam.
