SAUDI ARABIEN ISLAM HAJJ
Muslim pilgrims gather at Gabal al-Rahmah, or the Mount of Mercy, near the Saudi town of Arafat on Monday 09 January, 2006, the climax of the rites on the ninth day of Zulhijjah in Islamic date, the month of pilgrimage. The pilgrims stay in Arafat until sunset when they come down to Muzdalifah to spend the night. Pilgrims go to Jamraat al-Aabah in Mena where they perform the stoning of the devil ritual. After two nights in Mena, pilgrims return to Mecca to perform a third tawaf around al-Kaaba to bid farewell to the holy city. Pilgrims believe they will then go back home as pure as the day they were born. (KEYSTONE/EPA/ALI HAIDER)
