Makkah launches digital tools to enrich Hajj pilgrims' experience
MAKKAH: The Presidency of Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque has launched several digital tools to enhance the spiritual experience of pilgrims during the Hajj season.
The initiative aims to convey the universal message of Hajj and highlight its Shariah objectives in multiple languages.
Sheikh Abdulrahman Al-Sudais, head of the presidency, inaugurated the second version of the artificial intelligence-powered robot Manarah 2.
The launch included several smart interactive screens, a global electronic recitation platform, and a multilingual Surah Al-Fatiha app.
During the Hajj season, the presidency is focused on enhancing the digital experience through integrated services, AI, smart apps, and media, in line with its broader transformation goals.
The initiative also supports Vision 2030 by utilizing advanced digital tools and content developed by local experts to promote the values of moderation and guidance rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah.
The presidency's Hajj operational plan, to be announced on Thursday, will prioritize enriching the pilgrim experience and will include scientific, educational, and guidance-based initiatives that reflect its core mission.
