Makkah:
The roof of the expanded Haram Mosque in Makkah will have a
helipad that will be used to transport patients to hospitals to
avoid traffic jams, especially during the peak Ramadan and Haj
seasons.
The helipad is part of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King
Abdullah’s Haram Mosque expansion project.
The project includes new toilets and
a network of paths for carts that are completely separate from
pedestrian routes.
It also includes pedestrian tunnels
equipped with escalators and all the necessary safety and security
means.
The tunnels will facilitate movement
to and from the northern and southern courtyards.
The expansion project also includes
drinking water coolers and an advanced system to dispose of waste,
in addition to security monitoring systems, and facilities to
provide shade for the northern courtyards.
