 This year, pilgrims are doing the Hajj in very hot weather.

Monday, two million pilgrims for this year's Hajj arrived in Mina. This means that the Hajj, which is one of the five pillars of Islam, has started. This year's Hajj is happening when it is very hot, so the country's Ministry of Health is warning people to be careful because the heat can be dangerous to their health.

Hajj is the biggest religious event in the world. It takes place every year for five to six days, and this year was the one with the most pilgrims since the Corona lock was opened.

Pilgrims have been going to Mina, which is 5 kilometers from the Haram mosque, since Sunday night. Some took cars, while others walked. They will spend the day and night here.

This year, more than 1.6 million and 650 thousand people from 90 countries went to perform Hajj. There, they will meet hundreds of other pilgrims doing the same thing.

Saudi Arabia said that it had done everything it needed to do to get ready for the Hajj. The Minister of the Interior, Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif, took part in a parade by the special security forces to show what kind of plans they have to make sure that the journey is safe.

The ministry said that it has sent 32 thousand officers to help travelers in all places of worship. It has also set aside 217 beds for people who may pass out from the heat, and it has set up a hospital with 166 beds in places of worship.
