Authorities urged pilgrims to avoid the most hot times

Muslim worshipers today prayed at the mountain Arafat at the high place of Hajj Ziarat when the authorities urged them to avoid the hottest times of the day after the tragedy last year.

Thousands of pilgrims recited thousands of Quranic verses from Dawn, which is at a rocky height of 70 meters (230 feet) near Mecca, where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave him the last sermon.

But the number of pilgrims to stay inside the pilgrims between 10am and 4pm decreased by noon, a year after the killing of 1,301 people a year later, which hit 51.8 degrees Celsius.

“I came here initially to avoid the sun and later I will pray inside my tent,” said Adeel Ismail, 54, from Syria.

Saudi authorities have taken several steps to reduce the heat of the pilgrimage, which has attracted 1.5 million pilgrims to the hottest regions in the world.

The Minister told AFP last week that the shadow areas have been increased to 50,000 square meters (12 acres), thousands of more physics are on standby and more than 400 cooling units have been deployed.

On Thursday, ice packs were handed over to people walking towards the mountain Arafat, some laid small bags on their heads.

Ali, 33, from Pakistan, said he feels “blessing” in participating.

He said, “This is something I used to watch on the TV screen every year during the Hajj and I always thought: ‘I wish I was here’.”

Through the tears of happiness, Iman Abdul Khaliq said that she wanted to perform Hajj for 10 years and that she was overwhelmed with emotions as soon as she arrived in Arafat.

“It’s a big dream for me that I had lost hope to feel.”

Hi -tech Hajj

Along with anti -heat measures and thousands of additional personnel, Saudi Arabia is also using high -tech weapons to help handle the crowd better.

This year, officials have also worked hard to hide unregistered pilgrims in Mecca, raids, drone monitoring and text warnings.

Saudi Arabia has earned billions of dollars a year from Hajj, and has reduced the low shrine known as Umrah at the second time of this year.
