If you enjoy being deported and detained, then by all means try to sneak into Makkah.

Deportation for non-muslims caught in Makkah and Medina results in a lifetime ban from the country.

The signs are clearly marked; for example - for those coming from the East (Riyadh):

Makkah (the city) is entirely off-limits. It includes the buildings (and other mosques and religious sites) around Makkah and of course the Haram.

I spent more than 20 years in Saudi Arabia (I grew up there), and I now live in Kuwait and often drive to Saudi Arabia.

Believe me when I tell you - they check each and every car that enters Makkah.

Now can you sneak by? Sure - you can dress in the ahram (the two piece cloth Muslims wear during Umrah and Hajj), and you may not be questioned.

However, considering that if you are caught, the punishment is entirely up to the judge I would not risk it. Note this is on top of the normal punishment which is deportation and lifetime ban.
