> I wanted to go to Mecca and Medina, but as a non-Muslim, it’s haram.
No, it's not. You can even go inside any mosque if you wear the proper clothes, as how Muslims pray.

> "Mecca is the holiest city in Islam where the pilgrimage or Hajj to Mecca is celebrated. This destination is only for Muslim tourists. At the entrance, there are several checkpoints where they will check that the visitor is a Muslim, and non-Muslims will be redirected to a highway that surrounds the city. Pilgrims must prove they are Muslim and women must be accompanied by a Mahram, also known as a male guardian."
A non-Muslim can visit Medina but the main mosque is off limits.
