Muzdalifah is an open area located between Arafat and Mina, covering approximately 9.6 square kilometers. Pilgrims spend the night here after standing at Arafat (night before Eid), pray Maghrib and Isha together, and collect pebbles for the Stoning ritual. Staying overnight at Muzdalifah is an obligatory part of Hajj. The area is equipped with restroom facilities, water, and first-aid centers. The name means 'the place of nearness' referring to pilgrims drawing closer to God.
