Tent City, Mina Saudi Arabia — Mina is a location situated some 5 Km to the east of the Islamic holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. It stands on the road from Mecca’s city centre to the Hill of Arafat. There are more than 100,000 Air Conditioned Tents in Mina providing temporary accommodation to 3 million pilgrims. The tents measure 8 meters by 8 meters and are constructed of fiberglass coated with Teflon in order to ensure high resistance to fire. Nowadays due to lot of people the Saudi govt is also putting some tents outside the boundary of Mina and on reaching the tents took beds outside of tents and sleep with families on the ground as the tents were in Mazdalfa.
