Over 2 million pilgrims are prepared for Hajj
Published in 03.11.11

Over two million Muslims begin tomorrow rites of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, the largest human gathering in the world that poses a formidable logistical challenge to the Saudi Arabian authorities.

"We are mobilizing all possible means to prevent any harm (safety) of any pilgrim or a group of pilgrims, "said Tuesday the new Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz in Mecca, the first holy city of Islam located in western Saudi kingdom.

Safety is the major concern of the Saudis, the guardians of the first Holy Places of Islam, Mecca and Medina, who wish make sure to avoid any incident that may affect the huge gathering.

Special Forces units, including riot police and the fight against terrorism, supported by helicopters, simulated assistance interventions. The highlight of the pilgrimage will take place Saturday when the faithful converge on Mount Arafat near Mecca.

Eid Al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice marking the end of hajj, will be celebrated Sunday. Especially since the hajj this year coincides with the Arab Spring, which took away the leaders of Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.

Luxury hotels in Mecca were full for Hajj
Luxury hotels around the Grand Mosque in Mecca were running full for this year's Hajj despite hundreds of new rooms opening. "Makkah Hilton & Towers were a sell-out for the month surrounding Hajj," said Shuja Zaidi, the hotel's general manager and vice president for Hilton Worldwide projects in Saudi Arabia. "We had expected rates to be lower than in 2010 due to the increased supply of hotel rooms in and around the Haram." But demand exceeded supply and rates remained "in line" with last year.
