Today is the second day of Tarwiya, the Hadj of this year is almost over only few are staying until tomorrow but the majority have finished their rituals and going back home or to Medina. Alarabiya and Saudi Tv have diffused many images from Mena, Arafa, Muzdalifa, but I thought about showing you a photo of how 3.360 Million hadj are moving today from Mena to the Haram in the street to do the latest Tawaf. Many prefer walking and really it’s the only days where you wish you didn’t use your car, because it can take hours to go from Mena to the Haram, which took just few minutes in ordinary days. The pict is took at about half the distance, there is about 2km from both sides crowded with cars like that.
The pict is took with my N80, but I have reduced the quality to make it 580Kb because the original pict is 1.38MB - resolution remain unchanged 2048×1536.

Salam malaykome…i’ve been trying to contact my father in Jeddah and when I call I am told that “this line cannot be reached at this moment”, is this because of Hadj? How long before everything goes back to normal there?

No it’s not because of Hadj, always try to call again. He might be in a place where network cannot reach him.
