Holiest city in Islam (5)

I believe the answer is:

mecca

(Other definitions for mecca that I've seen before include "Pilgrimage site" , "Islamic holy city" , "City in Saudi Arabia, chief place of Muslim pilgrimage" , "Holy city of Islam" , "Goal of pilgrimage" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and the USA Today.
