Alaa Mohdar: “We are always honored to serve Egyptians..We strive for the comfort, of the pilgrims.”

Posted on يونيو 7, 2025 by Fatma abdelhamed

Amid a serene and spiritual atmosphere filled with reverence and tranquility, the five-star Hajj camps — managed by Mutawwif Alaa Mohdar — hosted a series of educational and guidance programs designed to enhance awareness of Hajj rituals and proper pilgrimage etiquette. These efforts were part of a comprehensive service approach that blends physical comfort with spiritual nourishment.

The events included premium hospitality services and a variety of meals, along with organized internal pathways to ease movement and help pilgrims familiarize themselves with the camp’s facilities — contributing to a safe and seamless experience.

One of the most notable features of the day was the series of religious sermons and awareness sessions, which were met with great enthusiasm and engagement from the guests of Allah. Topics addressed included: ethics during crowding, proper manners during Hajj, and important health and religious guidance — all delivered under the supervision of a distinguished group of scholars and preachers.

Alaa Mohdar stated: “We believe that pilgrims seek not only physical comfort but also spiritual nourishment.”
He emphasized that every aspect of the day was carefully curated to provide pilgrims with a complete experience that satisfies the heart before the body, adding, “We are always honored to serve Egyptians… and we strive for the comfort, safety, and happiness of the pilgrims.”

Several pilgrims affirmed that these gatherings left a deep emotional and spiritual impact, reinforcing inner peace and raising awareness about appropriate pilgrim behavior during the sacred rites.

Five-star pilgrims began arriving in Mina early this morning to observe the Day of Tarwiyah, amid intensive preparations and high-level organization as part of the structured ascension plans for the 1446H Hajj season.

This step comes in line with the smooth execution of the gradual movement program toward Arafat, designed in advance to ensure the safety and comfort of the Guests of Allah.

Alaa Mahdar, a Five-Star Pilgrims’ Mutawwif, confirmed that the arrival process to Mina went smoothly and in full compliance with a carefully scheduled plan that considers all logistical and health requirements.

“We are implementing a flexible and well-organized ascension plan that ensures pilgrims’ comfort and avoids overcrowding, while providing all amenities within pre-prepared camps that meet five-star standards,” he said.

He further noted that supervisory and field teams are working around the clock to monitor the readiness of the camps and the services provided, including catering, cooling systems, and guidance services, all in coordination with the relevant authorities.

“We are committed to delivering a premium level of service that befits the five-star pilgrims. We aim for the Day of Tarwiyah to mark the beginning of a smooth and safe Hajj journey, God willing,” Mahdar added.
