It is in these tents Hajj pilgrims stay overnight during the five days of each Haj season.
For the rest of the year, Mina remains pretty much deserted.
There are more than 100,000 air-conditioned tents in Mina providing temporary accommodation to 3 million pilgrims.
Originally pilgrims brought their own tents which they would erect in the flat plains of Mina.
After Hajj is over, the tents would be dismantled, everything packed and taken back.
Each camp is equipped with a kitchen, bathrooms, and ablution facilities.
