RIYADH: More than 1.4 million pilgrims visited Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifa at the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah during the last six weeks, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Sunday.
The SPA, said 762,101 males and 641,539 females visited the holy site between Dhul-Qadah 1 and Dhul-Hijjah 14.
The area of Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifa is 330 square meters and has the capacity to accommodate 800 visitors per hour, with an average of 10 minutes per visitor.
There are four stages in managing the influx of visitors to Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifa: verifying appointment bookings through the Nusuk and Tawakkalna applications, scanning the QR code through e-devices, directing visitors to waiting areas inside the Prophet’s Mosque, and then facilitating their entry into Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifa.
The General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Prophet’s Mosque, in cooperation with security and service agencies, has worked to ease the process for visitors and worshippers to pray at Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifa and visit the tombs of Prophet Muhammad and his two companions.
These efforts align with the aspirations of Saudi leadership to serve the visitors and worshippers at the Prophet’s Mosque.
