Prophet's Mosque Umbrellas Ensure Year-Round Worshipper Comfort

The umbrellas of the Prophet's Mosque are prominent architectural and technical masterpieces, designed to ensure a comfortable environment for visitors year-round.

Each umbrella weighs 40 tons, stands 14 to 15 meters tall, and provides vast shade with dimensions of 25.5×25.5 meters.

Their function extends beyond sun protection; an engineered design ensures efficient water drainage, making the courtyards usable even during rain.

They also use a sophisticated electronic operating system for smooth opening and closing, adhering to the highest quality and safety standards.

This unique engineering achievement is a global icon in modern Islamic architecture, embodying the Kingdom’s commitment to developing the two holy mosques and harnessing technology to serve millions of worshippers.
