Arabic vocabulary
مَكَّةَ is how you say “Mecca” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
حَتَّى قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ،
Until he arrived in Mecca.
مَكَّةَ — Mecca. A place name, and even without any 'to' word its ending is the destination case, so the noun itself carries the 'into Mecca' sense. Arabic can mark the goal of motion on the noun's own ending rather than with a preposition.
From: A Stranger Finds the Prophet →OpenArabic teaches words like مَكَّةَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
