Men in Mecca break their fast during Ramadan
A new bridge to prevent the jam in the circumambulation area of holy Kaaba will be opened, where 7,000 people will have the chance to walk all the way around
.
Spokesman of Pilgrimage Affairs and Religious Trusts Ministry Hatim Qadi stated that disabled and old visitors would have the ability to pray on this bridge. Qadi stated they expect five million Muslims' visit in Kaaba during Ramadan.
Huge car parks with a capacity of 15 million vehicles were opened in several entrances of Mecca to prevent traffic jam. The visitors are carried from the car parks to Kaaba via 15,000 buses.
On the other hand, Turkish visitors came to Saudi Arabia's Mecca city for umrah (pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, performed by Muslims that can be undertaken at any time of the year) during holy Ramadan, inviting guests to their meals from several countries of the world.
The visitors raised hands to pray for Allah, while waiting for the adhan, the Islamic call to prayer when the iftar (fast-breaking meal) time clocks. People read Quran until adhan time and pray for all world-Muslims.
Turkish umrah visitors offer cheese, olives, grapes, bananas and several drinks to their guests.
Umrah means to perform Tawaf round the Kaaba and Sa'i between Al-Safa and Al-Marwah mountains, after assuming Ihram (a sacred state).
