Historic expansion of the Grand Mosque 04 June 2012to serve the Guests of Allah ![]() Grand Mosque model in Makkah museum The reign of King Abdullah has witnessed the largest transformation of the Grand Mosque in the history of the Kingdom. Pilgrims will no longer face many physical ordeals and health risks when performing their Haj and Umrah. Once completed, the expansion of the Sa’y area will accommodate 300,000 pilgrims per hour to decrease congestion and facilitate the walk between the Safa and Marwa. Once completed the Sa’y will comprise of three floors with a total surface area of 125,000 square meters. Extra escalators and elevators will be added to allow easy access and movement between floors. Empty spaces on each level will be provided for large groups to meet and wait for their fellow pilgrims. Other improvements include signage indicating important landmarks and entry/exit points to the Grand Mosque and an advanced ventilation system that not only cools the air but also releases a refreshing mist. Seba Mashara, who recently arrived from Syria to perform umrah told Saudi Gazette, “The last time I visited Makkah was over seven years ago. I was surprised by the noticeable improvements throughout the Grand Mosque. Although the Tawaf is still crowded, the Sa’y area was much more spacious, wider, and organized. However, seeing the domineering bulldozers and the disturbing noise pollution from the construction are a bit disturbing, but I hope the results will be very beneficial for all Muslims.” Thai Consul General Chalee Ali Sakolvari was similarly impressed with the advances made in the Grand Mosque. He told Saudi Gazette, “I have seen tremendous changes and improvements in the transportation services, cleanliness, the general organization of the sites, and in the Jamarat. When I performed Haj 15 years ago, we encountered much difficulty, got stuck in massive traffic jams, and endured hardships. Today, due to the determination and hard work of the Saudi government we have performed our rituals with great ease. Overcrowding at the Jamarat has been alleviated so well by the four ‘new’ levels. Very few people from our Haj delegation suffered any form of illness this year as a direct result of the reduced crowding and excellent services.” Architect Abdul Mohsen Bin Humaid, Director of Projects at the Two Grand Mosques, said, “Work will continue non-stop to ensure the completion of the expansion projects on the ground floor and first level of the Mataf just before Ramadan, when the number of pilgrims will increase exponentially. Evaluation and inspections on the speed of progress is taking place on a daily basis by our team of engineers. We can expect that within eighteen months, all the construction will be finished and the desired results fully achieved.” http://www.saudigazette.com.sa/index...20120604125874 |

Grand Mosque to host 10 million worshippers after largest expansion ![]() The large number of construction cranes, which dominate Mecca, damage the silhouette of the holy city where millions of Muslims from around the world convene every year for the annual hajj pilgrimage. (PHOTOS SUNDAY’S ZAMAN, MÜHENNA KAHVECİ) 3 June 2012 / MÜHENNA KAHVECİ , MECCA The Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) in Mecca, where millions of Muslims from around the world convene every year for the annual hajj pilgrimage, will be able to host around 10 million worshippers when the ongoing expansion project, the largest in the mosque’s history, is completed. There have been many projects to expand the capacity of the Grand Mosque, but the latest one will be the largest. It will increase the size of the mosque to 500,000 square meters, double its current size. The mosque was first expanded by the Saudis in 1954, increasing its capacity to 300,000 people. The second expansion project took place during the reign of King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz, which increased the capacity to 630,000 people. The latest project is sponsored by King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz. Currently, 52,000 Muslims can circumambulate the Kaaba in one hour. This figure is estimated to increase to 130,000 once the expansion project is complete. The current project is being carried out in two stages. The first, which began in 2009, involved the demolition of 2,350 hotels, offices and other buildings around the mosque, with another 1,900 buildings set to be demolished soon. The Saudi government is reportedly paying as high as 500,000 Saudi riyals (around $133,000) per square meter to the owners of the buildings close to the mosque in return for the expropriation. This brings the total figure to around $100 billion. During the second stage, which is currently being carried out, the prayer area will be expanded. Hotels will be built in the Jabal Omar region near the mosque to provide accommodation for 200,000 pilgrims. There are also ongoing efforts to ease transportation in Mecca, all of which have turned the city into a giant construction site. To minimize the risk of overcrowding and to lessen congestion on the roads, the Saudi authorities began operating a Chinese-built train in 2010 that stops at hajj sites. Once fully functional, the railway is expected to reduce congestion caused by buses and cars during the hajj. It will also carry pilgrims performing their umrah, or lesser pilgrimage, throughout the year. Once completed, the Saudis estimate that 53,000 buses will disappear from the city’s crowded roads, promising a safer and more comfortable pilgrimage. Currently, about 3 million pilgrims travel to Mecca every year for the annual hajj. It is estimated that the city will be able to host 10 million pilgrims once the ongoing projects are completed. http://www.todayszaman.com/news-2822...expansion.html ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
