    Amjad Al-Hazmy, director at the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques Projects, said that the app is designed to guide users to places inside the Grand Mosque in Makkah.

    The application does not need internet connection to determine location.

    “Users can easily navigate to important areas and service checkpoints in all floors of the Grand Mosque. The app was downloaded by 30,000 users on various devices including Android, iPhone and iPad,” said Al-Hazmy.


    Umm Al-Qura University Businesses and Information Creativity President Nabil Kowshak said his company Wadi Makkah for Technology designed the app.


    “The app aims to facilitate the navigation of users in the Grand Mosque.

    The app provides information on the services offered at the ground level of the mosque. The app was developed in cooperation with the Internal Navigation Company,” said Kowshak.


    CEO of the Internal Navigation Company Saleh Basalamah said the app depends on core blue low energy sensors that send signals to the mobile phone of the user to determine the user’s location.


    “The app can then instruct the user by voice where to go in order to reach the desired destination. The app also provides 3D maps to help users,” said Basalamah.


    He also said there are 1,500 sensors dispersed all across the first floor of the Grand Mosque.


    “The company will be working on the second phase of the project soon.
    The app has eight features including offline usage. The app, which is in Arabic and English, is available in iOS and Android. A tour guide of the Grand Mosque works on Bluetooth,” said Basalamah.


    He said the app also provides navigation to the main roads in Makkah, the Grand Mosque and its arenas, special needs services, the gates of the Grand Mosque, bus stops and other facilities.

    Re: App that helps navigation inside Masjid Al-Haraam

    Wa alaykum assalam,

    Ma'sha'Allah, a much needed app I think - I have heard so many stories of people losing their way in Masjid al-Haraam, after all the expansions and the tens and thousands of people there, it's even easier to get lost.

    A great idea and inshaAllah I hope to be able use this app one day soon for myself.

    ماشاءالله

    It's a good app but it could be more detailed as it looks a bit flat. I like what they've done so far though.
