A visit provides a profound understanding of the artistry and devotion behind one of Islam's most revered symbols.

One of the coast’s natural attractions is Mar Menor, the largest saltwater lake in Europe. As Mar Menor means 'minor sea', the Mediterranean Sea itself is, consequently, called 'major sea'.

Mina, also called Muna or Tent City, lies on the place where Prophet Abraham stoned the Devil in the form of three pillars that allegorically represent temptation. The city serves as a shelter for pilgrims and can host up to 3 million people in more than 100,000 air-conditioned tents, covering an area of approximately 20 square kilometres.
