RIYADH: Pilgrims who opted to hasten their departure concluded their rites on the 12th of Dhul-Hijjah, performing the symbolic stoning at the three Jamarat — the Small, Middle, and Large — on the second day of Tashreeq. Their pilgrimage concluded with the Farewell Tawaf, marking the final circumambulation around the Kaaba, a ritual that signifies the end of the Hajj.

Among the pilgrims were around 14,000 Omanis who completed the Hajj with ease, supported by the dedicated efforts of the Omani Hajj Mission. The mission played a key role in coordinating and facilitating a wide range of services tailored to the needs of the pilgrims, ensuring a smooth and fulfilling experience.

The Omani Hajj Mission will continue its operations in the Holy Land until the departure of all Omani Hajj campaigns.
