Madinah: Government authorities in Madinah have completed their preparations to welcome the influx of pilgrims visiting the Prophet’s Mosque following their Hajj rituals. The coordinated efforts demonstrate Madinah’s commitment to providing a smooth and spiritually enriching post-Hajj experience for the pilgrims.

According to Saudi Press Agency, under the supervision of the Governor of Madinah Region and Chairman of the Hajj and Visitation Committee, Prince Salman bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz, relevant agencies have executed comprehensive operational plans tailored to the post-Hajj season. The first groups of returning pilgrims are expected to arrive tomorrow evening via bus and the Haramain High-Speed Train.

Authorities are closely monitoring field operations to ensure smooth traffic on key routes, including the Hijrah Expressway. Precautionary measures have been implemented to maintain high levels of security and traffic fluidity along the Qassim and Tabuk roads leading into Madinah.

The General Authority fo
r the Affairs of the Prophet’s Mosque has initiated an integrated plan to prepare the mosque and its facilities for pilgrims in a clean, safe, and welcoming environment. A total of 141 mosque doors will be opened to accommodate male and female pilgrims, with 100 designated pathways staffed by spatial guidance teams to manage movement within the mosque complex.

Special arrangements have been made to regulate access to Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifa through pre-booked appointments on official applications, ensuring adherence to crowd capacity and providing a smooth experience. Informational digital screens guide visitors through designated entry points, and Zamzam water bottles are distributed to enhance their spiritual visit.

These efforts are aimed at facilitating voluntary prayers in Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifa and allowing the largest possible number of pilgrims to offer greetings to Prophet Mohammed and his two companions.
