Saudi Arabia has introduced expanded mobility and accessibility services for elderly and disabled pilgrims visiting the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina during the 2026 Hajj season.
The new measures include electric and manual wheelchairs, dedicated transport carts and specially marked routes to help pilgrims move around the mosque and its courtyards more easily. According to a Gulf News report, authorities said the services are part of broader efforts to improve accessibility and ensure safer movement during one of the world’s largest religious gatherings.
