Muzdalifah: Agencies responsible for serving pilgrims have completed preparations at Muzdalifah to receive pilgrims following their departure from Arafat, as part of an integrated operational ecosystem aimed at ensuring the highest levels of comfort and safety for pilgrims during the performance of their rituals.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the holy site has been prepared with extensive spaces to accommodate crowds, alongside readying overnight stay areas, upgrading lighting networks, restrooms, and public service facilities, as well as intensifying around-the-clock cleaning and environmental sanitation efforts to provide a safe and well-prepared environment for pilgrims.

Security and traffic authorities have also reinforced their plans to organize pilgrim movement and manage crowds by deploying field teams along roads and routes leading to the site, ensuring smooth movement between Arafat and Muzdalifah and reducing dispatching times through precise scheduling plans that account for crowd density and flow.

The healthcare ecosystem has raised its readiness by operating health centers, emergency and ambulance points, and deploying medical personnel and field teams to handle emergencies, while also intensifying awareness messages on heat stress and health guidance during movement and overnight stays.

Service agencies have mobilized all technical and field capabilities to support pilgrims' dispatching and real-time monitoring through digital systems, surveillance cameras, and control centers operating around the clock, aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring rapid response to any field observations.

At Muzdalifah, pilgrims perform the Maghrib and Isha prayers combined and shortened, then spend the night there in accordance with the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad before proceeding at dawn on Eid Al-Adha to Mina to complete the Hajj rituals and perform the stoning of Jamrat Al-Aqaba.
