Hi Bill, Tent city is only for Hajj, when each pilgrim stay there for 5 days. For umrah & general pilgrimage, people stay in hotels / appartments around the main mosque at Makkah & Madinah.

Quite a contrast from my mind's-eye picture of a tent city to house the Mecca pilgrims.
Perhaps the poor are in a tent city beyond the high-rise skyscrapers.
