The Pilgrimage BusinessWhere can you spend almost $US150, 000 per square metre on a piece of land? Not the Champs-Elysees in Paris, or Broadway or New York. But Mecca! This film shows the transformation of the holiest place in the Islamic world into a real estate business for religious tourism. More than 3 million Muslims from around the world now attend the world's largest pilgrimage, the Hajj. Following the pilgrims' journey, this film features a rare interview with the Bin Laden Group behind much of the monumental development of Mecca, potentially Saudi Arabia's new 'gold'.
