one visit to the mausoleum equals one-third of a visit to mecca. in 2000, mrs. noz and i went to the great mosque in kairouan, tunisia. one visit to that site is said to equal one-seventh of a visit to mecca.
being non-muslim, i'm not allowed to go to mecca. but i wonder if there are other places in the world with some kind of mecca exchange rate. by my calculations i am 47.619047619047619% of the way to a hajj. that's almost half-way! not bad for a heathen. can i do the whole thing just by visiting other sites around the world? or would i have to go back to turkestan or kairouan to top off my current total?
