**Key Takeaways**

- The General Authority for the Grand Mosque launched a digital service showing live crowd levels in the tawaf and sa'i areas
- Color-coded indicators show whether an area is light, moderate, or heavily congested
- The service is available through the authority's official digital platform and aims to reduce crowding during peak Umrah periods

The service enables visitors at the Grand Mosque to monitor crowd levels during [tawaf and sa'i](https://theislamicinformation.com/masjid-al-haram-live-crowd/) — two of the main rituals of Umrah — using color-coded indicators that show whether an area is light, moderate, or heavily congested.

## **Why It Was Built**

The General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the [Prophet's Mosque](https://theislamicinformation.com/masjid-an-nabawi-crowd-tracker/) said the tool is designed to spread visitor movement more evenly, cut waiting times, and keep foot traffic flowing smoothly.

It forms part of a wider set of smart services the authority runs using live data and modern technology.

## **Access and Availability**

The service is live now and accessible through the authority's official digital platform. It is expected to be most useful during busy Umrah seasons and high-attendance periods when the tawaf and sa'i areas see the highest volumes of worshippers.
