The University of Toronto Cities Centre just recently released a video describing their concept for an Aerial Ropeway Transit system in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Take a look:

Fascinating! Hopefully when it’s built and fully operational, this system is open to people of all religious backgrounds.
No chance. “Non-Muslims are not permitted to enter Mecca under Saudi law, and using fraudulent documents to do so may result in arrest and prosecution.”
