For the first time in Saudi Arabia’s history, the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques has launched a trial operation of the “mobile barbershop” service within the Grand Mosque in Makkah during the current holy month of Ramzan 1446 AH-2025.
This initiative provides designated locations where male pilgrims can fulfil the religious obligation of shaving or trimming their hair—an essential step in completing Umrah.
To accommodate the large influx of Umrah pilgrims, five mobile barbershop units have been set up opposite the Marwa area. These units are equipped with sterilised tools to ensure hygiene and safety.
