Mecca, officially Makkah al-Mukarramah (Arabic: مكة المكرمة, romanized: Makkat al-Mukarramah, lit. 'Makkah the Noble', Hejazi pronunciation: [makːa almʊkarːama]) and commonly shortened to Makkah (Arabic: مکة, romanized: Makkah, Hejazi pronunciation: [makːa]), was a city and administrative center of the Mecca Province of Saudi Arabia, and the holiest city in Islam. For once in a lifetime, it was compulsory for all Muslims to perform both pilgrimages, Umrah and Hajj there.
History[]
21st Century[]
On December 21st, 2012, it is shown during a news report in Washington D.C, when many Muslims performing a salah around the Kaaba in Masjid al-Haram when they learn that the 2012 Apocalypse is imminent. It is most likely that Mecca got swept away by the Worldwide Flooding. Presumably after the apocalypse ends, Mecca is submerged underwater and is rendered uninhabitable.
Trivia[]
- When the viewports (maps) are seen in the alternate ending of the film, some of Saudi Arabia could be seen risen above the waters, including where Mecca originally is.
