"Hira, or the Cave of Hira is a cave about 2 mi from Mecca [...] It is notable for being the location where Muslims believe Muhammad received his first revelations from God (Allah) through the angel Jibreel, also known as the angel Gabriel to Christians."

It must've been a very recent change, as I checked them all about a month ago. Good job, John (& Kenwyn) “The picture has changed now though but I’m confident it is the same thing!”

Well done John. I must have gone right over that as I spent ages looking at Mecca for #140. Wasn't even imagining #144 would be there. It's clearly "sites of religious significance" (pilgrimages/birthplaces/holy centres etc). Whether there is anything else to it to narrow it down further I don't know. Good spot that one.
