On March 6th, Saudi Arabia achieved a new milestone with a record 500,000 Umrah pilgrims entering the Grand Mosque in Mecca in a single day. To manage the increasing number of visitors, advanced technologies such as AI-powered monitoring systems and smart cameras have been implemented for crowd control, especially in high-traffic areas like Mataf and Safa-Marwah. Security forces are working around the clock to maintain order, ensuring safety and assisting with elderly pilgrims, children, and lost visitors. The holy month of Ramadan sees a peak in Umrah pilgrimages, with most Muslims choosing this time for their spiritual journey.
