Mina: The City of Tents
A Journey of Devotion and Victory
Located just 7 kilometres east of the Masjid al-Haram, Mina is a sacred valley that transforms into the world’s largest temporary city during Hajj. Known as the “Place of Success,” it is here that pilgrims gather to emulate the unwavering faith of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and seek divine closeness.
