President of the General Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques, Sheikh Dr. Abdulrahman Al Sudais, said the modernisation effort on the largest operational plan in the history of the Grand Mosque was activated after a year of research and planning.
Through this operation, pilgrims can take advantage of smart robots and electronic applications that help facilitate their worship, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) quoted him as saying.
At the same time, he said 230 prayer areas in the Grand Mosque will be opened to receive pilgrims throughout Ramadan this year.
