World Muslims Flock to Hajj
Around three million pilgrims from over 160 countries are expected to perform hajj this year.
Every able-bodied adult Muslim -- who can financially afford the trip -- must perform hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, once in their lifetime.
Hajj is expected to climax on November 26, when the faithful descend the Mount `Arafat.
