Medical workers check the body temperature of travellers arriving for the annual Haj pilgrimage at a hotel in Saudi Arabia's holy city of Mecca. In Mina, an area about 20 kilometers east of Mecca, the Saudi Haj Ministry has allocated a fully furnished and equipped tower to accommodate pilgrims during the final days of Haj, which coincides with Eid Al Adha, or the festival of sacrifice, celebrated by Muslims.
