Record Pilgrim Flow at Mecca's Grand Mosque During Farewell Tawaf
Mecca's Masjid al-Haram witnesses record-breaking pilgrim flow during Farewell Tawaf. The annual Hajj pilgrimage saw an unprecedented number of worshippers circling the Kaaba during the final ritual, Tawaf al-Wida'. Saudi authorities, anticipating the large crowds, implemented a comprehensive plan to ensure smooth and safe passage for all pilgrims. 'The high volume of pilgrims was managed effectively thanks to the meticulous planning and preparedness of the authorities,' said a spokesperson for the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. The use of electric trains, wheelchairs, and numerous entry gates contributed to the efficient flow of people. This successful management of the large crowds serves as a testament to Saudi Arabia's commitment to facilitating a safe and meaningful Hajj experience for millions of Muslims worldwide.
