One of the most notable shifts this year is the expansion of developed housing projects near the Jamarat facility, primarily Rabia Kadana and Kadana Al-Khayf camps. These projects aim to increase the capacity and improve the quality of accommodation, based on advanced engineering solutions in shading, ventilation and facilitating field movement.
In the heart of the Mash'ar, the Jamarat facility stands as one of the largest engineering projects in the world for crowd management; this multi-storey bridge operates according to a precise routing system that accommodates hundreds of thousands of pilgrims per hour, supported by an integrated network of entrances, exits, ramps and escalators carefully designed to break up human masses and prevent overcrowding.
On the field level, the efforts of government sectors are integrated to implement comprehensive organizational plans around the clock to ensure smooth movement between the holy sites. In this context, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced the completion of its operational preparations for the tawafeej plans, which this year focused on qualifying the human element and employing technology through:
Training more than 30,000 cadres to operate digital solutions and manage operations. Executing extensive hypothetical experiments to measure operational readiness and test the efficiency of procedures in coordination with all relevant authorities.
Qualifying 600 tawaj members and 5,000 regiment leaders to manage field tasks.
