JEDDAH: A baby boy was born on Monday at the holy site of Arafat in Saudi Arabia while Muslim pilgrims performed the Hajj.
According to Arab News, a Jordanian woman gave birth to the baby at the Jabal Al-Rahma Hospital in Arafat.
The child has been named ‘Wadah’ by the parents after the director of the hospital.
The mother and child were reported to be in good health by the hospital's medical staff.
