According to the Hajj and Pilgrimage Information Center; Pilgrims will soon begin to depart for the holy sites and spend the most spiritual and beautiful moments of their lives during the days of Tashreeq and fill their backpacks with spirituality and faith. In the meantime, some points and executive measures taken are important.
Akbar Rezaei, Director of Hajj Operations for Tamattu 1404, said about the latest process of executive planning during the days of Tashreeq and the services intended to transfer our country's pilgrims to the holy sites: All arrangements have been made, including setting up tents in Arafat and Mina and preparing the pilgrims' settlement area in Mashaar Al-Haram; setting up tents, providing a cooling system, preparing public spaces and other necessary preparations for accommodating pilgrims have been prepared, and the necessary studies have been carried out to eliminate the weaknesses of previous years.
He stated that the operation of transporting pilgrims to the holy sites is carried out using a regular transportation system and with a precise schedule, and said: The operation of transporting pilgrims to the holy sites through regular transportation is carried out in 6 stages, which is one of the largest and most important processes of the Hajj operation, and the caravans and pilgrims must have the necessary cooperation in these stages.
Referring to the precise planning for the presence of pilgrims in Arafat, Mash'ar and Mina, the Director of Hajj Operations for 1404 stated: The process of transferring from Arafat to Mina, as well as the departure of pilgrims from Mina to Jamarat on the tenth, eleventh and twelfth days and the throwing of Jamarat, has been prepared in accordance with the instructions and schedule. Therefore, it is recommended that pilgrims travel according to the specified hours and must travel with the caravan.
According to Rezaei, if pilgrims lose their way in the holy shrines, the guides' unit with yellow covers and the company's personnel contracted by the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization will have a strong and continuous presence on the route and will help those who need guidance.
Other points that the Hajj Operations Manager emphasized were: observing hygiene by men when performing "halq" on Eid al-Adha, performing "halq" in designated places due to the two-story restrooms, avoiding traveling during hot hours of the day, carrying water and liquids when leaving for Jamarat, keeping the school number of the location, having the hotel name and caravan number during the days of Tashreeq, traveling in a caravan, carrying a Nask ID card, putting personal information stickers on their mobile phones, and taking care of each other during rest periods due to the per capita accommodation restrictions.
Referring to the per capita accommodation space in the holy sites and the geographical restrictions that exist for pilgrims from all countries, he said: "Pilgrims from all countries are familiar with these per capita accommodation restrictions, so dear Iranian pilgrims are advised to interact and cooperate with each other with patience during these days so that we can overcome the current conditions in a dignified manner, because each pilgrim has about 90 square centimeters of accommodation space in Mina and 1 meter and 30 square centimeters in Arafat."
