Makkah, MINA – The Presidency of Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque has unveiled a set of cutting-edge digital tools aimed at enriching the spiritual journey of Hajj pilgrims.

According to Arab News, this initiative is part of a broader transformation effort to integrate smart technology into religious services during the Hajj season.

Sheikh Abdulrahman Al-Sudais, head of the presidency, led the launch of the second version of the AI-powered robot Manarah 2.
