 Arafat, May 26, 2026, SPA -- Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has urged pilgrims to remain in their camps in Arafat on the ninth of Dhu Al-Hijjah until 4:00 PM to protect them from direct sun exposure during peak hours and to help reduce heat stress while performing the most important pillar of Hajj. The Ministry explained that the Arafah Day sermon will be broadcast live via audio and video to all camps, allowing pilgrims to listen to it easily and comfortably without needing to leave their locations. The Ministry also urged pilgrims to adhere to the approved dispatching plans and schedules and to avoid going out into traffic lanes or into unauthorized sits, as this could disrupt crowd management and impede the smooth flow of movement between sites. The ministry also called for adherence to the instructions not to climb Mount Arafat, due to the risks this may pose to the safety of the pilgrims, stressing that compliance with these instructions contributes to performing the rituals with ease and tranquility, and enhances the efficiency of crowd management in order to achieve a safe and organized experience for all pilgrims.
