Its my pleasure to share photos I took at the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, 12 years ago. I used film camera because there was no digital cameras at that time, later on I scanned those photos and kept them on my computer, but unfortunately Google maps doesn’t allow me to add photo for Mecca nor Jeddah city.

Enjoy the photos and if you been there recently share your photos and tell me if there in any change in the place.

Hey @Abdoado not yet it’s on my wishlist, I am planning to visit with the family next year :slight_smile: This year my parents visited Mecca and their journey was amazing. They are not used to technology, so I don’t have many pictures to share. My dad has recently retired and I am trying to teach him now, how to be a good Google local guide too :smiley: Thank you for this post.
