Over two million Muslims performs Haj

Chairul Fahmy Hussaini, a pilgrim from Singapore, said "It is my first Haj, the feeling cannot be described in words. I am very happy to see that so many people are here and the Saudi authorities are taking great care of them. "I have never seen so many people together and I am just elated to get this opportunity," he said. After sunset, the pilgrims will march toward Muzdalifah Valley and spend the night there in prayers after performing combined Maghreb and Isha prayers. Interior Minister Prince Mohammed bin Naif said a total of 1,389,053 foreign pilgrims, one-fourth of whom are from the sub-continent, have arrived for Haj this year from 163 countries.
