Thánh địa Mecca được so sánh giống Manhattan

It's Islam's holiest site. Millions make the pilgrimage to the Grand Mosque every year.

The pace of high-rise development in the city has led some to compare modern-day Mecca to Manhattan.

But archaeologists are angry that ancient monuments are being destroyed so rich visitors can be accommodated in luxury hotels.

The Saudi authorities say the demolition is necessary to cope with the ever-growing number of visitors.

Tốc độ xây dựng nhà cao tầng trong thành phố đã khiến một số người so sánh Mecca ngày nay giống như Manhattan.

Nhưng các nhà khảo cổ học thì tức giận vì các tượng đài cổ kính đang bị phá bỏ để các du khách giàu có được ở trong những khách sạn sang trọng.

Giới chức trách Ả Rạp Saudi cho biết việc phá hủy này là cần thiết để đương đầu với số lượng du khách ngày càng gia tăng.
