Additional 10,000 manual carts readied to move worshippers across Islam’s holiest site

Cairo: Saudi authorities overseeing Islam’s two holiest sites are introducing 251 golf carts for pilgrims during the Hajj at the Grand Mosque in Mecca.
With an anticipation of record-breaking numbers of pilgrims this year, driven by approximately 30 million Muslims undertaking Umrah during Ramadan, more than 2 million global Muslims are expected to attend this month’s Hajj.
Hajj, one of Islam’s five obligatory duties, must be performed at least once in a lifetime by financially and physically capable Muslims.
These efforts underscore the commitment to ensuring a seamless and meaningful pilgrimage experience for worshippers at the holiest site in Islam.
