Mekka. Biografiia zagadochnogo goroda - Kicha M.

For the first time in Russian language, the centuries-old history of the mysterious holy city - Mecca.
Mecca is a forbidden city for non-Muslims, a place where most people will never, under any circumstances, get there. It's a city you can only read about.
The book contains unique material, first translated into Russian (notes of travelers, scientists, philosophers - both Eastern and Western).
You will find in the book a lot of fascinating household details (the life of meccans, their daily routine, hobbies, activities, pastime, cuisine, architecture, sources of income, war and politics, relationships with each other and with the world around them). Even those who made the pilgrimage to Mecca do not see it and do not know it.
