Mina: Mina stands as the first of the holy sites visited by pilgrims, who head to the valley on the Day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhu Al-Hijjah) before returning on the Day of Sacrifice (10th of Dhu Al-Hijjah) and the three days of Tashreeq. Uninhabited throughout the year outside of the Hajj season, this 16.8-square-kilometer valley is located within the sanctuary boundaries between Makkah and Muzdalifah, roughly seven kilometers from the Grand Mosque.

According to Saudi Press Agency, bordered by mountains and flanked by Jamrat Al-Aqaba on the Makkah side and Wadi Muhassar on the Muzdalifah side, the historic valley contains the three Jamarat pillars for the stoning ritual as well as the famous Al-Khayf Mosque, historically known as the Mosque of the Prophets.
