Authorities have been managing the influx of pilgrims to the holy mosques during the month of Ramadan, one of the busiest times of the year.

More than a million visitors were present at the Grand Mosque in Makkah on Sunday.

The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque said there were 4,000 workers on hand at the Grand Mosque and that the mosque was being clean around the clock by 70 field teams.

A new initiative was launched at the Grand Mosque to improve the visitor experience for elderly and disabled pilgrims.

The project is part of the “It is an Honor to Serve Our Pilgrims” campaign which looks to ensure worshippers receive the best possible service from the moment of their arrival until they depart.

The head of the presidency, Abdulrahman Al-Sudais, led worshippers in emotional night prayers in Mecca.
