In the two years (625-626 AH) (1227-1228 AD), Ibn Almugawer gave a precise description of Mecca Almukaramah in his era, pointing to the importance of Mecca Almukaramah and its religious rank. The material presented by him is of great importance because it filled a gap in the traveling and geographical information of Mecca Almukaramah at the beginning of the seventh century AH (13 AD), especially since Ibn Almugawer was not just a chatty and a historian, but also a traveler with accurate observation. In view of the importance of the book from the scientific and historical point of view, we have decided to re-consult it, especially to its most documented editions (Oscar Lofgren Verification), to explore its material about Makkah Almukaramah and to vet some of its details and references that reflect an important phase in the history of Mecca Almukaramah, for the paucity of the writing about and the disturbance of the available historical material around it.
