Muslim pilgrims pray on Mount Arafat, also known as Jabal al Rahma, the mountain of mercy, southeast of the holy city of Mecca, as the peak of the Hagi pilgrim is approaching.
Arafat is the place where Muslims believe that the prophet Muhammad left his final trusts some 14 centuries ago after leading his followers on pilgrimage.
More than 2 million Muslims began annual Hagi on Friday in scorching temperatures. Hagi is one of the largest annual religious gatherings in the world and is also one of the five pillars of Islam.
It must be performed by all potential Muslims at least once in their lives.
It is made up of a series of rituals conducted during five days in the most holy city of Islam and its suburbs in the western part of Saudi Arabia.
There is also the House, a cube structure that is the center of Islam, in Mecca.
The Muslims of all over the world are driven by weeping, and pilgrims during Hagi must roll around seven times.
