Muslim pilgrims pray on Mount Arafat, near Mecca, as they take part in one of the Hajj rituals. The pilgrims perform a series of rituals during the annual Hajj. They circumambulate the kaaba seven times, run back and forth between the hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwah, drink from the Zamzam Well, go to the plains of Mount Arafat to stand in vigil, and throw stones in a ritual Stoning of Devil. The pilgrims then shave their heads, perform a ritual of animal sacrifice, and celebrate Eid al-Adha holiday. Photo by Ashraf Amra
