Lack of disabled facilities for Hajj pilgrims
For many, going on the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca is the trip of a lifetime. But if you're disabled, it can be a difficult experience.
Although it's not a religious duty for Muslims who aren't fit and well to go, some choose to do just that. Parents of disabled children and adults have told Asian Network they've had problems finding disabled toilets and ramps for wheelchair access into buildings and onto transport.
Saudi authorities say they're looking at enhancing the facilities.
