MAKKAH, March 1 (Bernama-SPA) -- Worshippers congregated at the Grand Mosque of Makkah on Friday evening to perform Isyak and Tarawih prayers, marking the commencement of Ramadan 1446H, amid a comprehensive system of integrated services provided for the visitors and Umrah performers.
According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque has implemented a suite of services, which encompasses the supervision of courtyards, extensive disinfection and sterilisation protocols, transportation services, organised entry and exit procedures at the Grand Mosque's gates, and the continuous washing, disinfection, and perfuming of the entire mosque with premium fragrances.
The authority also oversees the movement of vehicles within the Grand Mosque, designates accessible pathways for individuals with disabilities, and implements other essential services.
The distribution of Zamzam water is conducted through designated vehicles, backpacks, bottled water, and thermoses.
Some 11,000 personnel are deployed across four shifts to ensure the comfort and well-being of visitors. Crowd management strategies are also implemented to optimise service delivery across all areas, particularly during peak times and in densely populated zones, ensuring the provision of seamless services to all worshippers.
