Easy online entry.
Competition page states 'Win a trip to Mecca', but I'm unsure if the prize includes accomodation and transfers to Mecca, or if it's just flights

OMG this seems to be oversubscribed..
.. About as popular as a f@rt in a spacesuit
NOW I WONDER WHY YHAT MIGHT BE?
ROFL
PS: Iranians need not apply.
Hardly going to be oversubscribed!
Only applicable to a few people. YOU MUST be a Muslim to travel to Mecca. Whilst non-Muslims can go to Saudia Arabia, we cannot travel to Mecca while there.
I always thought it might be an interesting place to go and see one day from a tourist point of view, but sadly that will never happen now.
Traveling to Mecca is allowed for non-muslims.
There is a place called 'haRam' which includes masjid haRam, supposedly built by Abraham. This is the most important mosque for muslims. Apart from this area, i don't know about any place in Saudi Arabia, where non-muslims are restricted.
There is a plenty of information on the net, telling us that non-Muslims are strictly forbidden to enter the city limits of Mecca, and that it is STRONGLY ENFORCED.
Non-Muslims are free to visit other places in Saudia Arabia without any problems.
I reckon the lady on Sunrise this morning would be all over this. And I retract the use of the word lady when referring to her.
Thank you for that!
