The three Jamarat
Nusuk then places pelting of the three Jamarat on 11 and 12 Dhul Hijjah, and optionally the 13th. The three are identified as the largest, middle and smallest Jamarat.
Assigned timings matter
Crowd management is critical at Jamarat. The Ministry publishes a dedicated Jamarat awareness guide. Follow your assigned schedule, route and organizer instructions rather than choosing a time independently.
Move safely
Stay with your group plan, follow directional signs and instructions, and avoid stopping in active pedestrian flows. Do not push against crowd movement to reach a particular position.
Prepare before leaving camp
Know your meeting point, carry only essentials and keep your phone charged. If your group provides specific transport or walking instructions, use those current instructions.
Continue the Hajj sequence
The rites around 10 Dhul Hijjah also include the offering and shaving or trimming of hair, followed by Tawaf al-Ifadah according to the Hajj sequence and your qualified guidance.
