Here's Qur'an Chapter 106.

Sura 106: Quraish Tribe (Quraish)

Number of verses in sura: 4

Order of revelation: 29

[106:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

[106:1] This should be cherished by Quraish.

[106:2] The way they cherish the caravans of the winter and the summer.

[106:3] They shall worship the Lord of this shrine.

[106:4] For He is the One who fed them after hunger, and provided them with security after fear.

- Winter and Summer (sheeta'a wa'saouef)

Mecca doesn't have a winter at 19 degrees north of the equator. It's a burning hot desert even during the winter months. Just watch the news! Better yet, watch the weather network - Mecca's temperature's only drop like 5-6 degrees from the summer heat during the winter months. It never snows in Mecca during the winter at all!!!

here's an image of Petra during the winter - http://www.flickr.co...rts/4591365281/

This is more evidence, in addition to Chapter 105 on the Elephant (which are never found in Mecca but can be seen in Nothern Arabia)...more evidence that Petra is the original mecca!!!
Petra is in the temperate zone and it has snow fall during the winter months just like Jerusalem.
