Saudi Gazette report

MAKKAH — The General Authority for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques has deployed 251 golf carts specifically designated for circumambulation (tawaf) and sa'i, the two key rituals performed during Hajj.

These carts, in operation 24/7, offer pilgrims convenient and accessible transportation throughout their sacred journey.

Strategically positioned at key locations at the holy sites, including the entrances to the Ajyad escalator, the King Abdulaziz Gate elevators, the Bab al-Umrah elevators, the Ajyad Bridge, and the Shubaika Bridge, the golf carts ensure easy access for pilgrims who may require additional support in performing their rituals.

The provision of carts reflects the authority's commitment to upholding the directives of the Saudi leadership, which wishes to facilitate the experience of all pilgrims, including the elderly and disabled people, enabling them to perform their rituals with greater ease.
