Abstract	Due to the unique nature of the mass gatherings and the public health hazards they pose, comprehensive modeling of disease spread during these events is needed. Computational models are essential tools to estimate the arising of epidemics. In this paper, we present our ongoing efforts to model disease spread during the Hajj. We discuss the different aspects of modeling the spread of infectious diseases during the Hajj season. Although, the modeling approaches in this study are still under active research, we believe that once fully developed, these models can be used to provide reliable indicators for public health authorities to estimate the risk of local disease spread during the Hajj and global disease spread following the Hajj.
