Organized groups toured key religious landmarks, including Mount Arafat, the Cave of Hira, the Cave of Thawr, Jannat al-Mu’alla cemetery, and the Mosque of the Jinn. The Hajj pilgrimage is the fifth pillar of the Islamic faith – a ritual that must be performed by all Muslims, if financially viable, at least once in their lives. The ritual includes several rituals meant to symbolize the essential concepts of the Islamic faith and to commemorate the trials of the Prophet Abraham and his family. The Hajj culminates with Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, where Muslims worldwide perform Qurbani, the practice of sacrificing livestock during the Eid festival.
