King Salman of Saudi Arabia, Sultan Haitham of Oman, and Sheikh Mishal of Kuwait acknowledged the smooth management of the pilgrimage, which saw around 1.7 million participants.
The event was marked by a series of organized movements, including the transition of pilgrims from Arafat to Muzdalifah on the evening before Eid Al-Adha.
