Summary: From earliest Islamic times those rulers of Muslim dynasties whose territories encompassed Mecca and Medina looked after and refurbished the two holy sites. They provided shelter along the routes and organized the great annual caravans that took place. Pomp and ritual were associated with the departure of these caravans. Before modern travel, the journey was long and hazardous. Pilgrims came from far afield and their journeys are evocatively documented in the form of manuscripts, photographs, and wall paintings. Today the holy sites are under the care of the King of Saudi Arabia.
