Madinah: Despite the millions of visitors and worshippers that throng the Prophet’s Mosque throughout the year, the movement of crowds entering and leaving the mosque remains remarkably smooth. This efficiency is testament to the meticulous planning and implementation of crowd management strategies.

The General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques, in collaboration with security authorities, has developed a comprehensive crowd management plan. This plan, meticulously crafted by specialists and engineers in human crowd management, is then implemented by highly trained personnel with exceptional crowd control skills.
