If you wanted to go to the toilet and you were a woman, you would be mighty lucky if you knew how to drape your garment around you. Your only other choice would be a filthy closet. For the neatness of the facilities and grounds we can thank the teamwork of the hard working mainly Bangladeshi workers, under the efforts of the Saudi authorities who have the daunting task of providing a trouble-free Hajj. They are responsible for the safety of more than 2 million people, and have more than risen to an excellent international example for the world to learn from. There is a neat flow of traffic.
Cars whisk down clean streets in an organized flow.
Many policemen are assisting the smooth movement of cars and people. This is Hajj 2001. The mass confusion and sloppy handling of crowds is a thing of the past. The smooth logistics, handling so many people, is a dream come true for me. The first Hajj I went to almost three decades ago was anything but.
