Masjid al-Haram city (5)

I believe the answer is:

mecca

(Other definitions for mecca that I've seen before include "Pilgrimage site" , "City in Saudi Arabia, chief place of Muslim pilgrimage" , "Holiest city of Islam" , "Holiest city of 13 Across, place of annual pilgrimage" , "Mohammed's birthplace" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
