Brilio.net - For Muslims, visiting the Holy Lands of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia is a noble dream. The reason is that these two cities were the places where Islam was first born. Apart from there being two mosques, it is said that if you pray there, the reward is 100,000 times greater than praying at other mosques.
