The video reveals how thermal cameras are used to monitor the flow of people circling the Kaaba. These high-tech devices track movement in real time, ensuring everything runs smoothly. And here’s the coolest part: when the zone around the Kaaba turns red on the monitoring system (a signal that it’s getting crowded), entry is temporarily restricted.

This thoughtful system keeps things safe and stress-free for everyone performing Umrah.

It’s just another example of how advanced the Kingdom’s efforts are to provide the best possible experience for pilgrims. From high-tech solutions to heartfelt hospitality, Saudi Arabia is pulling out all the stops to make sure rituals can be performed in comfort and peace.
