  8. Makkah: this is where the Kaaba is. This is the city which many years ago started because of the Zam Zam fountain.

  9. Mina: In Mina you stay there for 3 days after Eid ul Adha and you sacrifice the ram like prophet Abraham did. You also throw stones on the pillars representing Shaitan in order to hit the devil like in the story of the Prophet Ibrahim (as) and Ismail (as). Then you go back to Arafat.

  10. Muzdalifah: at Muzdalifah you collect pebbles and stones to throw at the 3 Shaitans in Mina. Sometimes it is so busy you don’t arrive there till late at night.
