“Mina Tents Through Years”
Mina tents have evolved over the years to improve the safety and comfort of the pilgrims. In the past, pilgrims used to bring their own tents or stay in cotton tents provided by the Saudi government.
However, after a massive fire in 1997 that killed nearly 350 pilgrims, the government installed permanent fire-proof tents. The tents are also equipped with water sprinklers, alarms, electrical outlets, kitchens, bathrooms and communal areas.
