Mecca is also off caravan routes.
It most likely never existed before the 500s AD
Such a blessing!
Islam is an elaborately constructed Christian heresy with laughable historical flaws.
By the will of Allah, 500 less terrorists.
About 125 degrees.
Yeah, that’s pretty warm.
Trying to care…
51.8C=125.24F
125 degrees can sure expose any weaknesses or susceptibilities you have, age, bad health, starting the day low on hydration and food, that is some rough temps.
sounds like a good start
Muslims need a lot more of these occasions.
I own one of these and one of the smaller version, they are very effective and I recommend them to people in desert climates and motorcyclists who might break down in the desert, 110 degrees will take you out pretty quickly when working on your bike or hiking.

I can’t imagine the stench.
Do you get bonus points for dying on the hajj? 72 not-quite virgins, or something?
When you’re hot you’re hot,
And when you’re not you’re not,
Put all the money in and let’s roll ‘em again,
When you’re hot you’re hot.

mecca is at latitude 21.422510° N.
the earth’s tilt at june 19 is 23.4°:

so due to the earth’s tilt, the sun is almost directly overhead in mecca at this time of year.
the cause of the earth’s tilt is thought by scientists to be a collision with a planet called theia:

which had as a side effect the creation of the earth’s moon, according to the giant impact hypothesis:

(but surely trump’s fault, or anthropogenic climate change’s fault, somehow...)
There are several rich countries in that part of the world. Many are Muslim countries. You would think Saudi Arabia or Dubai would buy a few planes, trains and buses to transport these people in a safer manner. I thought Muslims were supposed to help each other. Not that I care so much what they do, but the irony is remarkable.
Medina is funky and cold
Imagine the stench of all those overheated savages
>> At least 550 pilgrims have died during the hajj
Disappointing. The number should be 100x that.
Sneak preview of their “heaven”.
