**How to Use the Charging Stations**

The charging devices are designed for simplicity and security. Instructions posted at the stations guide users through the process:

1. **Place the device in the charger** – Insert your mobile phone into the designated charging locker.
2. **Close the box and remove the key** – Securely close the locker door and take the key with you.
3. **Charge for 30 minutes** – Allow your phone to charge while you perform prayers or Tawaf. Return within the recommended time to collect your device.

The 30-minute charging period aligns with the time needed to complete prayers or a portion of Umrah rituals, allowing worshippers to return to a powered phone without disruption.

The charging stations are strategically located throughout the Grand Mosque complex, making them easily accessible for pilgrims.

Other services include electric carts, childcare centers, multilingual guidance, and the Nusuk app for navigation and bookings.
