French: Histoire de Makkah

Millions of people visit Makkah and very few know its history beyond the outline. This book fills that in.

What It Covers

• The different aspects of Makkah, and the most important historical events bearing directly on the city's establishment, its sacredness and its religious weight
• The sites that come to mind whenever Makkah is mentioned — the Black Stone, the Zamzam Well and others
• A large part of the book on the Holy Ka'bah and the Holy Mosque, including the successive extensions

Why the Extensions Are Worth Reading About

Because the Haram a pilgrim sees today is the result of centuries of building, and understanding how it grew changes how the place reads — what is original, what was added, and why.

Who It Is For

French-speaking readers preparing for Hajj or Umrah, and anyone who has been and wants to understand what they were standing in.
