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.

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. more details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecca
