Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam, and is required by all Muslims to perform it at least once in their lifetime if they have the physical and financial ability to do so. For pilgrims, it is a profound spiritual experience that erases sins, brings them closer to God and highlights Muslim unity.
Leave Mina after sunrise, as this was the practice of the Prophet ﷺ. The distance from Mina to Arafat is about 13 kilometers (8 miles).
Most pilgrims tend to arrive at Arafat before or after Dhuhr, although delays may occur due to traffic congestion. Don't panic if you're still in Mina right now and feel like you're late; your tour operator will make sure you arrive at your destination. Use this time wisely; you can participate in Dhikr, do Dua, take a shower or have breakfast.
