MAKKAH — The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques has provided electric vehicles (EVs) round the clock for elderly and disabled Umrah performers and pilgrims, helping them perform the needed rituals with ease.

Over 9,000 EVs are in the service of visitors of the Grand Mosque and they can be booked in advance through Tanaqol (transport) smartphone application, which aims to serve pilgrims and Umrah performers through the latest technological advances.

The application helps purchase tickets, pre-book EVs, and reduces overcrowding at the points of sale and delivery. — SPA
