Mina, 7 Dhu al-Hijjah 1447 AH

The awareness centers and points of the General Presidency for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice saw heavy attendance and notable engagement from the Guests of God during the Hajj season of 1447 AH, thanks to multilingual awareness and technology services designed to deepen religious awareness and enrich the pilgrim experience in modern and accessible ways.

These efforts are part of the presidency's operational plan for the Hajj season, which combines field work with modern digital solutions to deliver varied awareness content that meets the needs of pilgrims of different nationalities and cultures.

Multilingual Awareness and Technology Services

The field centers spread across the holy sites, pilgrim cities and land crossings saw growing numbers of visitors, with pilgrims making use of written, audio and visual awareness materials as well as digital services that give quick access to awareness content through modern technology.

The presidency also provided awareness content in several world languages, helping guidance messages reach pilgrims clearly and easily in keeping with the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Guests of God.

Interpreters and Sign Language for Everyone

A number of pilgrims praised the ease of obtaining religious and awareness information and the variety of ways it was presented, along with the availability of interpreters in several world languages and sign language services, which helped convey awareness messages to every group, including non-Arabic speakers and people with hearing impairments.

Field teams continued their work around the clock, receiving beneficiaries, answering their questions and providing guidance, within an integrated system aimed at raising religious awareness and improving the pilgrim experience.

Integration of Field Work and Technology

These initiatives reflect the presidency's drive to use modern technology in awareness work, through interactive digital solutions that make religious and guidance content easier to access and support direct field efforts in serving pilgrims.
