Saudi authorities distribute free safety wristbands (bracelets) inside Masjid al Haram for children and elderly visitors.
Parents arriving at the Grand Mosque can obtain the wristbands upon entry at the designated gates. Staff provide them 24/7 at these exact locations:
- Ajyad Gate 3
- King Fahd Gate 79
Wristbands will ensure the safety of children and elderly in the Grand Mosque, make them easily trackable, dropped the incidents of missing children to nearly zero.
Security personnel and mosque volunteers have been trained to check the wristbands if they encounter lost children and immediately contact the listed guardians.
The wristbands will include the contact information so that any lost child will be reunited quickly with the families.
Each bracelet contains a unique RFID ID. If a person gets separated in crowds, security scans the ID to locate them quickly. No registration or apps required.
Elderly visitors with mobility concerns receive immediate priority.
Authorities state the system has reduced lost-person reports during peak periods.
The wristbands remain active throughout a visitor’s stay and are deactivated upon exit. No costs apply. No personal data is stored.
