Around three million pilgrims have gathered in Mina to start the Hajj rituals.
Radio Pakistan’s correspondent Javed Iqbal reports from Makkah that the pilgrims will remain in the tent valley today and tonight, and later head to Mount Arafat.
Most of Pakistani pilgrims will prefer going to Arafat by train, as for the first time in the history, around 63 percent Pakistanis have been allotted tents near train route.
The remaining pilgrims will embark on their sacred journey to the Mount Arafat by bus or on foot.
Pakistan Hajj Mission has urged the pilgrims to follow their scheduled departure to avoid any mishap due to overcrowding and hot weather conditions.
