Ensuring a seamless Ramadan experience at Makkah’s Grand Mosque

As millions of worshippers flock to Makkah during Ramadan, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Interior has introduced six key prohibitions at the Grand Mosque to enhance security, comfort, and organization for pilgrims performing Umrah.

Among the banned activities are carrying weapons or sharp objects, smoking, begging, and unauthorized selling

Additionally, collecting donations within the mosque premises is strictly forbidden. To maintain order in the courtyards, the use of motorcycles and bicycles in surrounding areas is also prohibited.

To improve the flow of pilgrims, the ministry has rolled out a detailed transport plan
