At the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah, a new technology has been implemented to create a smooth and convenient way for pilgrims to visit the Rawdah Sharif.
Through an app, visitors will be asked to confirm an appointment, and 24 hours before the alotted time, will be prompted to confirm or cancel. The barcode provided cannot be used ahead of the specified time.
On arrival, guests will be directed via screens to designated entrances for visits. They will then scan the barcode provided at the automated gates, allowing entry into the waiting area. Once the visiting is over, guests will be guided towards designated exits.
Access for people with special needs will be provided along with electronic screens programmed in several different languages to help ease the process.
Impressive technology will allow for the authorities to track guest numbers as well as entrance and exit patterns. This is to ensure quick solutions to crowd management, and continuous improvement of the services.
