Mina

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

Mina is a blessed valley near Mecca where pilgrims stay during Eid in white tents, praying and remembering God.

Mina is a valley nestled between Mecca and Muzdalifah, serving as a sacred site of the Hajj pilgrimage. Pilgrims spend the Day of Tarwiyah and the Days of Tashriq there following Arafat, staying in the famous white tent city and performing the ritual stoning of the pillars (jamarat) following Abraham's model, in an atmosphere of peace and global brotherhood.
