That is false, all muslims that can financially make the pilgrimage to the holy site of Mecca are required. The holy pilgrimage to Mecca, also called Hajj, is one of the 5 pillars of Islam.

The correct answer is - Mecca.

All Muslims that are able to afford themselves to go to Mecca are required to make a pilgrimage once in their lives at this place, which is one of the five holy places in the Islam.

The pilgrimage in Mecca takes places around a very big, dark rock. The origin of the rock is not known, and it is interesting that that particular rock has been used as a holy site much before the Islam, and considering the high intolerance of the Islam towards the pagan traditions, it is pretty weird that a pagan site has been chosen for this practice.
