Presidency provides 8,000 carts for visitors of the Grand Mosque

MAKKAH — The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques, represented by the transport services administration at the Grand Mosque, has provided 8,000 normal and electric carts for visitors of the Grand Mosque through Tanaqol App, with sterilization services before and after using the carts, to facilitate performing the rituals.

The administration also grants permits for workers after completing certain conditions and follows up on them in the field to guarantee their commitment to regulations and control the price to ensure not using beneficiaries through increasing prices, where the administration works around the clock on shifts with a total of 750 employees.

The Head of the administration at the Grand Mosque Ahmad Al-Maqati said that the administration has set three locations for the assembly of drivers of the carts who hold licenses at Ajyad Gate (King Abdulaziz Gate), the ground floor of the mosque (King Fahd Gate) and the third is at the first floor.

Al-Maqati noted that the administration issues licenses for drivers of the vehicles to contribute to moving the carts after they had been split into three shifts, where visitors can rent the carts during their presence in the Grand Mosque and throughout their touring the mosque or while performing rituals. — SPA
