MAKKAH — The number of beneficiaries of transportation services at the Grand Mosque in Makkah stood at 522,634 during the first 15 days of Ramadan.

This marked a season of significant advancements in facilitating movement for Umrah pilgrims and worshippers. These included 86,399 faithful who used the newly upgraded paid carts while 421,144 worshipers used electric golf carts, in addition to 15,091 worshipers who benefited from the free manual carts.

The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque has enhanced accessibility by enabling users to reserve carts in advance through the "Unified Transportation" platform. The system allows beneficiaries to select their preferred mode of transport —golf carts, paid manual carts, or free carts — while specifying their destination, date, and time, with the added convenience of electronic payment and technical support.
