Mina, On the second day of Eid Al-Adha, the first day of Tashreeq, pilgrims in Mina embarked on the ritual of throwing stones at the Jamarat, which entails throwing pebbles at three pillars, starting with Jamarat Al Oula (the small pillar), continuing with Jamarat Al Wusta (the middle pillar) and finally Jamarat Al Aqaba (the large pillar), following in the footsteps of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).
Multiple pathways were designated across the various floors of the Jamarat facility to ensure a smooth flow of pilgrims and manage the crowd. This innovative, multi-level structure was engineered to distribute pilgrims efficiently during the throwing ritual, SPA reported.
Pedestrian bridges connect the Jamarat to the Al Mashaaer Al Mugaddassah Metro Line and surrounding pilgrim camps in Mina, facilitating safe and convenient movement.
