Five Main Gates at the Grand Mosque Ensure Seamless Access for Visitors

The Grand Mosque is renowned for its many diverse gates that encircle the complex, all designed to ensure the smooth and safe entry and exit of visitors. Among them are five main gates, distinguished by the minarets that rise above them: King Abdulaziz Gate, King Fahd Gate, King Abdullah Gate, Umrah Gate, and Al-Fath Gate.
 Pilgrims can easily gain direct access to the Mataf area through King Fahd Gate, King Abdulaziz Gate, and Al-Salam Basement. The General Authority for the Care of the Two Holy Mosques directs pilgrims wishing to reach the Mataf area from the first floor to make use of several bridges, including Al-Shubaika, Ajyad, and Al-Arqam.
 When exiting from the Masa'a area, both on the ground floor and first floor, pilgrims can use Al-Safa Gate, Al-Nabi Gate, Al-Marwah Gate, Al-Marwah Bridge, and Al-Marwah Wheelchair Bridge.
 The authority underlines that these main gates and bridges play a key role in helping worshippers and pilgrims reach the Grand Mosque easily and smoothly.
 These arrangements by the authority aim to enhance the flow of movement within the mosque by facilitating visitors’ entry and exit, thus helping to prevent overcrowding and ensuring quick and safe access for the performance of rituals and worship.
