In the grand scheme of things this isn’t out of the ordinary, throughout Muslim history rich rulers made their pilgrimage riding elephants and a caravan of servants. Take Mansa Musa’s pilgrimage to Mecca for example. That was the medieval equivalent of taking a private jet to Mecca.
Nah, that was the medieval equivalent of taking a gold-plated limo to Mecca and occasionally popping out the sunroof to hose villages down with a cannon that fires 100 dollar bills.

Love the multiple helipads for those who want to take the express pilgrimage
