Mina is a desert valley situated approximately 7 kilometers east of the Masjid al-Haram. It is famously known as the "City of Tents" because it houses more than 100,000 air-conditioned tents that provide temporary accommodation to millions of visiting pilgrims during Hajj.

The stay in Mina is a Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Pilgrims arrive here on the 8th of Dhul Hijjah (Yawm at-Tarwiyah) and return after the stay in Arafat and Muzdalifah to perform the ritual of stoning the devil (Rami) and celebrating Eid al-Adha.

Within Mina lies the Jamarat Bridge, a multi-level structure where pilgrims perform the symbolic stoning of the three pillars (Jamarat) representing the temptations of the devil.

• Arrival (8th Dhul Hijjah): Pilgrims pray Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr prayers here.
• Rami (Stoning): Casting pebbles at the Jamarat pillars over several days.
• Hadi (Sacrifice): Performing the animal sacrifice following the first stoning.
• Taqsir/Halq: Trimming or shaving the hair after the sacrifice to partially exit the state of Ihram.
