Yes, as a Islam or muslim it is a obligation of every one of us to go to Mecca, the holy place. It is the fifth pillars of Islam. Anyone can afford should go to Mecca to complete the obligation. The one who can not afford should perform five times a day prayer. In the mosque he should pray and ask for forgiveness for his sins.

No I don't have to, I'm not a muslim, but I would love to go there as a turist. Is that even allowed!?

The Mecca city is revered as the holiest
site of Islam, and a pilgrimage to it is
required of all able-bodied Muslims who
can afford to go, at least once in their
lifetime. Muslims regard the al-Masjid
al-Haram (The Sacred Mosque) as the
holiest place on Earth.
