The place has more than 100,000 air conditioned tents which work as a temporary shelter for the ones who come on a Hajj to the holy Mecca.

The tents here come with proper facilities ranging from kitchen to well equipped bathrooms, with a rule that men and women can not stay together in the same tent.
