Come to Mina after Fajr prayer, at day break, throw pebbles at the Great Satan, offer sacrifice, shave off head, come out of Ahraam, go to Kaaba for Twaf-i-Ziarat, Saai between Safa and Marwa, and come back to Mina. They stay their that day (Eid), the 10th. They stay in Mina for 11th and 12th Zihajj, throw pebbles at three Satans each day. Come back to Makka before sunset of 12th. If some one is unable to come on 12th he remains in Mina on 13th, throws pebbles on three Satans and comes back to Makka in the afternoon.
The Muslims stay in Mina because they have been instructed by the last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (May peace and blessings of Allah Karim be upon him) to perform Hajj like this. It is the Sanna.
