Journey to Mecca. We saw the film story (dramatic documentary) of Ibn Battuta's (a 14th century Morrocan) first pilgrimage (hajj) to Mecca (historical and cultural centre of Islam) on IMAX at the Science Centre. There sure was lots of dust! The timelapse scenes of contemporary pilgrims arriving at and visiting Mecca are astounding.
