The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s General Authority successfully hosted 5.6 million worshippers during the previous week at Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, Islam’s second holiest place.
The total number of pilgrims figure included 3,90,000 who performed their prayers in the sacred location of Al Rawda Al Sharifa where the tomb of Prophet Muhammad is located.
Saudi authorities implemented crowd-management rules and established separate prayer times for men and women to offer worshipers a seamless experience. Pilgrims are required to make appointments ahead of time at Al Rawda Al Sharifa to facilitate orderly access to this revered site.
