The total average minutes for performing the Umrah from the beginning of Tawaf until the end of Sa’ee takes 104 minutes, the General Presidency of the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques revealed.
It has also revealed that the average time of performing Tawaf takes 49 minutes while it will take 11 minutes for pilgrims to move from the Mataaf to Sa’ee, as Sa’ee takes 44 minutes.
The General Presidency, represented by the Agency for Security, Safety, Confrontation of Emergencies and Risks has provided more than 500 security personnel to serve Grand Mosque visitors during Ramadan.
The security personnel are there to ensure the readiness of safety means inside the Grand Mosque, and prepare all the corridors leading to Tawaf, as well as preserve and protect the main entrances, follow up on the regulating of crowds and manage it.
It’s also worth mentioning that the largest expansion in the history of Masjid Al Haram in Makkah since the dawn of Islam took place at the cost of 200 billion Saudi Riyals, raising the capacity in Masjid Al Haram to 1.8 million Worshipers.
When entering the Masjid, it is recommended to faithful that they perform two rak’ats of Tahiyyah al-Masjid, in which they should pray to Allah for every good thing they like in this world and the hereafter as the Prophet ﷺ said:
“When one of you enters the mosque, perform two rak’ats.” Do not sit before doing it.” (Narrated by Bukhari).
