Saudi Arabia has successfully organized the annual Hajj pilgrimage season for Muslims.
It is reported that 1.6 million Muslim pilgrims from around the world have come to the Saudi holy city of Mecca for the Haj pilgrimage which commences on the 9th of this month.
The annual Islamic pilgrimage is known as the Hajj and the pilgrims visit the Saudi Arabian pilgrimage to the life of the Prophet.
Hajj pilgrimage is one of the five pillars of Islam which is a compulsory part of Islam.
2 Million pilgrims perform the annual Hajj pilgrimage.
Meanwhile, a military parade was held in Mecca with the participation of Saudi security forces in preparation for the Hajj pilgrimage.
The parade, which is a series of special exercises, is designed to train security personnel on how to operate against armed attackers and emergencies such as fire.
It is said that this annual rally is held in preparation for the Hajj pilgrimage to safeguard the safety of pilgrims.
During the Hajj pilgrimage, the focus is on security arrangements.
One hundred and nine pilgrims were killed in a crane crash in 2015.
It is the intention of the Muslims to pay homage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime despite the security risks.
