Journey to Mecca is an IMAX® dramatic and documentary feature that tells the amazing story of Ibn Battuta, the greatest explorer of the Old World, following his first pilgrimage between 1325 and 1326 from Tangier to Mecca. His perilous journey resonates with adventure while presenting an unforgettable picture of Islamic civilization during the 14th century, culminating with Battuta's first Hajj. The story is book-ended by a close-up look at the contemporary Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca that draws three million Muslims from around the world.

Prophet Abraham peace be upon him built the Kaaba with his son Ismael.

I wonder why do those who think that prophet Abraham was their great great father do not

approve the Kaaba to be a holy place and consider Quran as the newest testament and Mohammad peace be upon him as the seal of the prophets who came with the continuation of the proceeding two religions of Judaism and Christianity?Islam is good for all times and is the best way of life for all humanity.

We just need to be fair

Was just about to head to the IMAX to see this movie. I love the story of Ibn Battuta, and IMAX has great potential for the landscapes etc... BUT... Made the mistake of watching the trailer first. It looks awful - a second-rate TV movie. Wet. What a shame! After all that effort and money...
