Key Gates Streamline Grand Mosque Access during Ramadan
As the number of worshippers and Umrah performers significantly increases during the last 10 days of Ramadan, the General Authority for the Care of the Two Holy Mosques has designated key gates and bridges to ensure smooth entry and exit to and from the Grand Mosque.
The key entry and exit gates, identifiable by their minarets, include King Abdulaziz Gate (1), King Fahd Gate (79), and King Abdullah Gate (100).
For access to the Mataf (circumambulation area) on the first floor, worshippers may use Shubaika Bridge, Ajyad Bridge, and the entrance of Al-Arqam Bridge.
Exiting from the Al-Masa'a area (ground and first floors) can be done through Al-Safa Gate (13), Prophet Mohammed Gate, Al-Marwah Gate, Al-Marwah Bridge, and the Al-Marwah Wheelchair Bridge.
These arrangements by the authority aim to ensure smooth movement, reduce congestion, and provide safe and efficient access to the Grand Mosque, allowing worshippers to perform their rituals with ease and comfort.
