For the first time in the history of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, multi-story tents will be established during this year’s Hajj season to provide more space to the hujjaj.
According to the Tuwafa establishment for pilgrims from Arab countries, the idea will solve the problem of narrow areas in Mina by increasing the accommodation capacity of the tents.
Saudi Gazette reports the chairman of the establishment, Abbas Qattan says the project will exploit the vertical height of Mina and added that the ground floor will be used for accommodation of workers and for storing food supplies while the upper stories will be used for accommodation of hujjaj.
The initiative will provide extra accommodation for eight hujjaj in each tent.
Qattan says the project was studied with the Authority for the Development of Makkah and was supported by the Ministry of Haj and Umrah and the Civil Defense.
It’s understood the tents will be fire-resistant and can easily be wrapped up and reconstructed.
