Qatari Pilgrims Gather on Mount Arafat, to Move to Muzdalifah Before Sunset

Qatari Pilgrims

The State of Qatar's pilgrims praised the Qatari Hajj mission's efforts and Hajj campaigns' equipment in the holy sites of Mina and Arafah, hailing the cooperation and coordination between the mission and all hajj campaigns.

On the second day of Hajj (the ninth day of the 12th month of the Islamic lunar calendar, called Dhul-Hijjah), Muslim pilgrims travel to Mount Arafat to perform the greatest part of the six-day ritual. They spend the day in reverent prayer. After sunset, they move to Muzdalifah where they spend the night before moving again to throw the stones just before sunrise.

The Qatari Hajj mission works according to an integrated system through all its administrative and technical support units, in cooperation and coordination with all campaigns, to provide all means, and to create all conditions that enable them to perform hajj smoothly and safely.

The mission continued its efforts in the Sacred Sites since receiving the pilgrims at the airport and taking them to their residences. It will also continue its efforts until the pilgrims' safe return to the homeland after performing the religious duty.

The mission's medical unit has clinics for men and women in Mina and Arafah, equipped with the necessary medical equipment to receive all cases, particularly critical or emergent ones. The clinics have the latest emergency equipment, and two ambulances with male and female paramedics.
