Saudi Arabia's Tech-Driven Hajj: 100,000 Air-Conditioned Tents and Modern Transport

The annual Hajj pilgrimage commenced on June 4th, 2025, with Saudi Arabia implementing advanced technologies to ensure the safety and comfort of pilgrims. Over 100,000 air-conditioned tents have been installed in Mina to mitigate the intense heat. "The provision of these modern facilities reflects the Kingdom's commitment to providing a safe and comfortable experience for all pilgrims," said a representative from the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (a hypothetical quote). The infrastructure improvements also include a new train system connecting Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah, streamlining the movement of pilgrims. This commitment to technological advancement and infrastructure ensures a smooth and secure pilgrimage for millions.
