I lived in Makkah for 4 years when my dad worked there.

The Saudis have no respect for history. These guys cut down a mountain with an ancient Turkish Fort which guarded Makkah to make a Hotel in its place.

It wasn’t that ancient… it was from the 1800s. And to Saudis, that fort was a symbol of the memory of Turk oppression.

Remember that us desis hold an immense love of Turks to this day. But many arabs, even today, hold a resentment of Turks for making arabs second-class citizens in arab lands.
