Monarch orders full Makkah Mosque air conditioning

By: Abdulali

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia: Saudi King Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, has ordered for air conditioning to be fitted in the entire Grand Mosque in the holy city of Makkah for the benefit of pilgrims and worshippers.

Head of the Presidency for the Two Holy Mosques Affairs Sheikh Saleh Al-Hosain said the project would be carried out within a short period of time without affecting regular prayers and rituals such as tawaf (circumambulation of the Holy Kaaba) and saee (the walk between mounts Safa and Marwa).

He also thanked the king for his gesture.

Currently, air conditioning is only available in that part of the Haram which was built during the reign of King Fahd.
