Pilgrims perform tawaaf on golf carts at Makkah’s Grand Mosque

In a significant move, the authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) have launched smart golf carts for the pilgrims to perform tawaaf (circumambulation) rituals around the holy Kaaba in the Grand Mosque in Makkah.

The launch coincides with the holy



month of Ramzan, which started on March 11, which usually marks the peak season for Umrah.

The initiative aims to assist individuals with special needs, elderly, and physically challenged individuals in performing the Umrah pilgrimage with ease and reassurance.
