Women get special prayer rooms in Mecca's Grand Mosque

Saudi Arabia has introduced special prayer rooms for women at the Grand Mosque in Mecca during Ramadan. These rooms aim to provide a supportive environment for female pilgrims, enhancing their worship experience. The new facilities include on-site healthcare support, a lost and found service, and Quran memorization sessions. Translated copies of the Quran and daily iftar meals are also available for non-Arabic speakers and fasting women. Logistical improvements have been made to ease movement within the mosque. Entry and exit routes are organized to reduce congestion, and special spaces for women with disabilities ensure equitable access to worship.
