Abu Dhabi: The UAE Haj campaign has received the camps allocated for UAE pilgrims in Mina and the land allocated for them in Arafat.
The tents committee, which received the camps, has immediately started preparations to make them ready to receive UAE pilgrims.
An official from the official campaign urged private Haj campaigns to submit their applications to the tents committee to receive their camps, which accommodate 6,000 pilgrims.
This is in line with the number of pilgrims specified for each campaign by the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Awqaf (endowments).
Meanwhile, the authority on Sunday organised a workshop for accompanying preachers.
