Religion is a funny thing. You go there brace the crowd n the sun just to stone a black thing. Might as well every country have a replica and just do the shit in your own country.
It doesn't work that way. Mecca is their holy land, cannot outsource to other places.
It also boosts the ego to be part of an exclusive club: 1) you can afford to make the pilgrimage unlike the other low SES Muslims, and 2) the infidels are not allowed to go there, the furthest they can go is the nearby city of Jeddah.
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.
