Muslims descend on Mt Arafat for hajj prayer amid heat
About two million Muslims dressed in seamless white robes gathered on Mount Arafat in Saudi Arabia for the annual hajj ritual. Officials supplied water and mist to combat 104 degree heat as pilgrims prayed, some climbing the mountain to seek spiritual mercy. An Iranian protest at the camp drew no Saudi intervention, while the procession continued toward Muzdalifah before dawn and ensuing rites in Mecca.
