Every year, more than two millions of Muslims went to the Holy city of Makah for pilgrimage "Hajj". There are a lot of activities that should be done during pilgrimage. One of the rituals performed by Muslim pilgrims during pilgrimage in al-Jamarat area in Mina, adjacent to Makah, is throwing stones at a pillar target. This activity is a symbol of stoning the devil "Throwing Jamarat" as done by Prophet Ibrahim. Throwing stones in mina during "aladha" eid is the most bottle neck ceremony. It caused a death of many Muslims last few years. This study suggests multi-solutions to solve the problem by using simulation program. Solutions include add more bridges; increase the radius of al-jamrat circles or using gates and semaphores. The suggested simulation presents any combination of the three solutions. The results of the study encourage adopting these solutions.
