Sun umbrellas turn into rain protection... Watch the heavy rain falling on the Grand Mosque
Weather of Arabia - In an instant, a rain cloud over Mina turned the weather from hot to almost cold, after the temperature had been close to 50 degrees Celsius all day.
The photographers' lenses captured the feelings of the guests of God, as they enjoyed the light rain that fell on Mina this afternoon, documenting those moments that combined reassurance and joy, as they completed their rituals on the first day of Tashreeq, amidst integrated services for their comfort.
The sudden "Mina cloud" turned the atmosphere almost cold, and pilgrims replaced the use of sun umbrellas from protection from the sun to protection from the rain.
