Millions of Muslims make the 14.4 km (8.9 mile) journey from Mina to Mount Arafat on the second day of the annual holy Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca on Saturday, August 10.

The Day of Arafat is one of the most important days in the Islamic calendar. During the day pilgrims travel to the mount, spend a day there praying and move again for another 9 km (5.60 miles) to Muzdalifah.

The Hajj is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and, according to Islamic scripture, must be performed by every able-bodied believer with the financial means at least once in their lifetime.
