Mina, Sacred valley in Mecca, Saudi Arabia
The valley of Mina extends across 20 square kilometers and contains more than 100,000 air-conditioned tents for pilgrims during the Hajj period.
In 1997, a fire incident in Mina led to the implementation of fireproof cotton tents and additional safety measures throughout the pilgrimage area.
The Jamarat ritual in Mina requires pilgrims to throw stones at three pillars, marking the location where Ibrahim rejected temptation according to Islamic tradition.
Each tent in Mina features designated sleeping areas, kitchen facilities, bathrooms, and clear numerical markers to help pilgrims locate their accommodations.
The Mashaer Al-Muqaddassah Metro system operates exclusively during Hajj season to transport pilgrims between Mina and other religious locations.
