In a move to enhance the Umrah experience for female pilgrims, the General Authority for the Care of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque has introduced dedicated carts for women’s Tahallul—the ritual of cutting hair to exit the state of Ihram

This new service ensures privacy and ease, catering specifically to the needs of female worshippers.

Managed entirely by an all-female staff, the carts provide a comfortable and sterilized environment, especially during peak pilgrimage times.

Strategically placed next to Bab Al-Marwah, they offer a seamless solution for women completing their Umrah journey.

This initiative follows the recent launch of Tahallul stations for male pilgrims, with five designated areas near the Marwa region
