Unless you are a Muslim you are not allowed in the Mecca city limits.

Yup,I'm aware of that.What I'd do to prepare is to go to some mosque far from where I live and say I want to become a moslem.I'd also tell a few other lies.Then,I'd get a letter from the "imam" saying that I've converted.

If I'm challenged at any point while in Saudi I'll say that I'm a new convert.

I know I could get into serious trouble but I'm willing to take the risk

And BTW...if I succeed in entering the city I'd stay no more than an hour...and probably less.

True...but, Sir Richard Francis Burton managed to make the Haj to both Mecca and Medina in disguise and published a book about that journey.

"Burton's best-known achievements include: a well-documented journey to Mecca in disguise, at a time when Europeans were forbidden access on pain of death...."

Fascinating character...more at:
