There is no mention of mecca in bible.
There is a passage which talk about fountain and desert in genesis 13 and 17.-
Then God opened her [Hagar’s] eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink. God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became an archer. While he was living in the Desert of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from Egypt. (Genesis 21:19–22)
The desert of Paran is thought to be the area of Hejaz by some historians.

The Arab geographer Al-Muqaddasi mentioned in his book that the Red Sea branches into two “at the extremity of al-Hijaz at a place called Faran”.[8]
The association of Paran in Genesis 21:21 with Ishmael and the Ishmaelites is affirmed by the Muslim geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi who writes “Faran, an arabized Hebrew word, one of the names of Mecca mentioned in the Torah.”[9] Islamic and Arabic traditions hold that the wilderness of Paran is, broadly speaking, the Hejaz, the northern half of Tihamah, stretching along the east side of the Red Sea starting from Jordan and Sinai,[10] and that the specific site where Ishmael settled is that of Mecca, near the mountains of Paran.[11][12][13][14]
