Around three million pilgrims have assembled in Mina to begin the Hajj rituals.
Pilgrims will remain in the tent valley today and tonight and head to Mount Arafat later.
Most Pakistani pilgrims will prefer going to Arafat by train, as for the first time in history, around 63 per cent of Pakistanis have been allotted tents near the train route.
The remaining pilgrims will undertake their sacred journey to Mount Arafat by bus or on foot.
Pakistan Hajj Mission has encouraged the pilgrims to follow their scheduled departure to avoid mishaps due to overcrowding and hot weather circumstances.
