Egyptian lottery pilgrims start leaving Mina for Mecca

The Egyptian lottery pilgrimage mission started organizing its pilgrim members into groups, those who chose to leave on the fifth day of Hajj, since the early morning to transport them from Mina to their hotels in Mecca, after having completed the Hajj ritual of “Jamarat” (stoning of the Devil), executive chief of the Egyptian mission Sayed Maher said.

Most of the mission pilgrims have left Mina, while the rest will be transported throughout the day, Maher, who is also assistant interior minister for administrative affairs, told MENA correspondent here.

He said he received a phone call from Interior Minister Magdy Abdel Ghaffar to check on the conditions of the pilgrims.
