The minister previously explained that Jordanian pilgrims spend one night in Arafat and two nights in Mina.
Camps for Jordanian pilgrims in Arafat have been fully equipped with sufficient air conditioners, fans, refrigerators, and water coolers. Each pilgrim will also be provided with a portable and adjustable “sofa bed,” along with pillows, bed sheets, and services for both hot and cold meals and beverages, Al-Khalayleh added.
He noted that there are approximately 150 tents in Arafat, each accommodating a varying number of pilgrims — some for 50 pilgrims and others with double the capacity.
Three dedicated medical clinics will also be available in Arafat for Jordanian pilgrims.
During an inspection tour in Mina, Al-Khalayleh confirmed the readiness of the camps in terms of infrastructure and services, ensuring the comfort and safety of pilgrims while performing their rituals.
He also emphasized that all logistical arrangements have been completed, including the provision of water, air conditioning, healthcare services, and medical teams, as well as accompanying religious and media guidance teams to ensure a smooth and reassuring pilgrimage experience.
Mohammad Hakim, CEO of the Hajj Sector at Mecca Construction and Development Company, told Al-Mamlaka TV that the Jordanian Hajj mission will operate three service centers in Mina, staffed around the clock to handle any emergency malfunctions.
Regarding meals, Hakim stated that breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided around the clock.
As for electricity, he confirmed that power loads have been increased and tested in advance to avoid any outages during the Hajj season.
Each tent in Mina accommodates around 35 pilgrims, with some tents holding up to 70, depending on location and size.
This Hajj season, around 8,000 pilgrims from Jordan are performing the pilgrimage, in addition to 4,500 pilgrims from the 1948 Palestinian territories. They are accompanied by a mission of guides, administrators, medical staff, and media personnel dedicated to supporting and caring for the pilgrims.
