The Grand Mosque witnessed, this Friday morning, a large and unprecedented influx of worshippers, which led to the temporary closure of the Grand Mosque starting at eight o'clock in the morning, after reaching its maximum capacity.
The corridors and courtyards of the mosque were filled to capacity with worshippers coming to perform Friday prayers, at a time when various mosques in Mecca witnessed a large overcrowding hours before the prayer time. The relevant authorities worked to organize the movement of entry and arrival towards the central area surrounding the mosque, in order to ensure the safety of visitors and the smooth flow of movement, especially with the significant increase in the number of arrivals during this period.
