A Closer Look: Hajj, the world's largest gathering of humanity

With around 2 million people making the trip each year, the Hajj — which is the pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia — is considered to be the world’s largest human gathering. Every Muslim is required to perform Hajj at least once in their lifetime, as long as they are physically, emotionally, and financially eligible to do so. This year, the ritual is taking place with the Israel-Gaza war on the minds of Muslims across the world, and amid warnings from Saudi officials about high temperatures. Here, host Greg Tanner speaks to The National's Senior News Reporter Ali Al Shouk about the event, its history and expectations for this year’s attendance. __________________ All the latest news: https://www.thenationalnews.com Like us on Facebook:   / thenationalnews   Follow us on Twitter:   / thenationalnews   Follow us on Instagram:   / thenationalnews.com   Follow us on LinkedIn:   / thenationalnews
