Saudi Arabian Scouts Association Enhances Pilgrimage Experience

The Saudi Arabian Scouts Association has recently unveiled a set of detailed and interactive maps aimed at aiding pilgrims during their sacred journey. These maps are designed to provide essential guidance and information for pilgrims visiting key areas such as Mina, Arafat, the central region of the Holy Mosque in Makkah, the Aziziyah neighborhood, the entire city of Madinah, the central area of the Prophet’s Mosque, Al-Naseem neighborhood, and Batha Quraish. Pilgrims can easily access these maps through the association’s website, ensuring a smoother and more informed pilgrimage experience.

This year's maps have been meticulously crafted following extensive fieldwork and thorough office research. The dedication of the team behind the maps, along with the support extended to camp volunteers, has been commended by the general leader of public service camps. Updates have been incorporated to reflect the latest developments in the holy sites, including the addition of new features in Mina such as residential towers.

The head of the guide maps committee emphasized the inclusion of Al-Naseem neighborhood and Batha Quraish in this year's maps. The software utilized for creating these maps required an impressive 150,000 layers to ensure clarity and user-friendliness. These enhancements aim to provide pilgrims with a more comprehensive and accessible navigation tool for their pilgrimage.

The release of these detailed and interactive maps by the Saudi Arabian Scouts Association marks a significant step towards enhancing the pilgrimage experience for individuals embarking on this spiritual journey. By leveraging technology and meticulous research, the association has demonstrated its commitment to facilitating a seamless and informed pilgrimage for all visitors. These maps not only serve as practical tools but also reflect the dedication and innovation driving efforts to improve the pilgrimage experience for all.
