Air quality is also monitored, and the suitability of the air conditioning is evaluated based on the weather and the number of worshippers inside the mosque, the SPA added. Security personnel as well as guides assist worshippers in guiding them to designated prayer areas inside the mosque, on the roof, and in the courtyards.
The program for entry into Al-Rawda Al-Sharifa and visits to the Prophet’s tomb is managed according to pre-scheduled appointments through the Nusuk app, in alignment with the space’s capacity. Services and care are also provided to worshippers in both the men’s and women’s sections around the clock, the SPA further reported.
