In terms of religious matters yes , there's no other place better than this but it often crowded because of  Masjid Al Haram, Living expenses are reasonable in Makkah and also the weather is far better than other cities like Jeddah etc. especially in summer. Accommodation-wise this city is also preferable.
Good luck.

Thanks a lot.

I appreciate your answer for my query.

May Allah bless you for everything you want in your life. Ameen.

You have met a boy ? Do you know him just through online or met him in person?

Coming from west you should be aware that you cannot drive and obligated to wear a burka (cloak) when stepping out, I'm sure that's not an issue for you if you are willing to move here for the sake of marriage.

God bless!
