Pilgrims spend first of 'Al-Tashreeq' days in Mina

Pilgrims of this year's Hajj continue to spend the first day of Al-Tashreeq days, which is also the second day of Eid Al-Adha in the Holy city of Mina. The pilgrims also continued to wholeheartedly thank Allah Almighty for blessing their Hajj. On this day, the pilgrims will continue to pelt pebbles, starting from "Al-Sughrah" (Small) Jamarat, proceeding to "Al-Wusta" (Middle) Jamarat and finally to "Al-Aqaba" (Grand) Jamarat. On Sunday, they pelted pebbles only at "Al-Aqaba" Jamarat. The Saudi Press Agency continues to monitor the smooth movement of the pilgrims in the wide-spread facility of Jamarat project, which the pilgrims started yesterday. On completion of this gigantic project, with supportive pedestrian bridges and fine facility of Mashaer train, it has been transformed into a large-scale cultural facility in the holy sites along with the surrounding camps of pilgrims - thanks to the attention and care of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz for the pilgrims to assist them in performing their Hajj rituals in ease and comfort.
