Free Wi-Fi WIll Be Rolled Out Across All Major Hajj Sites in 2025
Pilgrims will have high-speed internet access at Masjid Al-Haram, An-Nabawi, Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah as part of a national digital expansion plan.
High-speed internet will be freely available to all pilgrims during Hajj 1446 AH (2025), according to a new digital infrastructure rollout announced ahead of the pilgrimage season. The move is part of an ongoing national strategy to modernize services and enhance the Hajj experience through seamless connectivity.
The initiative includes full Wi-Fi coverage across the Grand Mosque in Makkah (Masjid Al-Haram), the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah (Masjid An-Nabawi), and key sites such as Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah - locations that form the heart of the pilgrimage journey.
Designed to support real-time communication, navigation, and access to services, the network will allow pilgrims to stay connected with loved ones and share their experience in real time. Technical implementation is being carried out in collaboration with local and international telecom providers to ensure both speed and reliability.
Pilgrims will be able to connect via official access points, which will be clearly marked across the designated areas. The project forms part of a broader digital ecosystem being developed around Hajj and Umrah, which includes eSIM support, smart applications, live transport data, and health service tools.
