Saudi Arabia has seen a dramatic increase in vehicular movement on roads leading to Mecca, with over 3.7 million vehicles recorded within the first ten days of Ramadan. This rise is largely due to the influx of pilgrims performing Umrah at the Grand Mosque, a sacred site that attracts millions during the holy month.
To ensure the safety and comfort of travelers, the Roads General Authority has implemented a robust management system. This includes continuous road maintenance, installation of advanced traffic control technologies, and the enhancement of road safety measures. Authorities are conducting regular inspections to optimize traffic efficiency and minimize congestion during this peak period.
Ramadan, a month of profound worship, marks the busiest time for Umrah. Reports from Al Arabiya TV indicate that in just the first ten days of the holy month, more than 25 million worshippers, including 5.5 million Umrah pilgrims, have visited the Grand Mosque.
Recognizing the spiritual and logistical significance of this pilgrimage, Saudi authorities have committed substantial efforts and resources to ensure a smooth and fulfilling religious experience. With millions more expected to arrive, Mecca continues to uphold its role as the heart of Islamic pilgrimage, catering to the devotion of Muslims from around the globe.
