After Arafat, pilgrims move to Muzdalifah to spend the night under the open sky.
The Rituals
- Prayers: Combine Maghrib and Isha (shortened) upon arrival.
- Collect Pebbles: Pick 49 to 70 chickpea-sized stones for the Jamaraat. Clean them with water if dusty.
- Sleep: There are no tents. You sleep on the ground (bring a sleeping bag/mat).
Survival Tips
- Bathrooms: Extremely crowded. Try to use facilities in Arafat before leaving.
- Food: Food boxes are usually distributed, but keep snacks (biscuits/dates) with you.
