The Grand Mosque in Makkah has witnessed the implementation of an integrated set of advanced smart systems designed to streamline crowd movement and enhance the flow of worshippers and pilgrims, as part of ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and elevate the overall visitor experience, particularly during peak periods.
These systems rely on cutting-edge technologies such as real-time data analysis, intelligent monitoring tools, and human-flow management platforms, enabling precise tracking of crowd movement, early identification of high-density areas, and swift operational decision-making to ensure safety and reduce congestion. The technologies also help distribute crowds more evenly across the mosque’s corridors, courtyards, and access routes.
The smart solutions operate in close coordination with trained field teams working around the clock. This integration allows authorities to guide worshippers smoothly, regulate entry and exit points, and manage designated paths for tawaf and sa’i, maintaining seamless movement while minimizing overlap between different routes.
This advancement forms part of a broader framework of technological initiatives being introduced at the Grand Mosque, aimed at harnessing innovation to serve pilgrims and worshippers, uphold the highest standards of safety and comfort, and reflect the Kingdom’s commitment to enhancing services at Islam’s holiest site through state-of-the-art smart solutions.
