Hajj pilgrims will climb Mount Arafat on Friday. This year, around a million worshippers are performing their Hajj pilgrimage in an atmosphere enhanced by health and security services offered by the Saudi government under the directives of King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Prince Khalid Al-Faisal, governor of the Makkah Region and president of the Central Hajj Committee, and Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif, Saudi interior minister and chairman of the Supreme Hajj Committee, have each inspected and monitored plans and operations for pilgrims moving from Mina to Mount Arafat.
