Massive Shading Project Underway at Namira Mosque Courtyards

      Makkah, May 13, 2025, SPA -- KIDANA Development Company, the master developer of the Holy Sites and the executive arm of the Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites, has implemented a project to provide shade and cooling to the courtyards surrounding the Namira Mosque in Arafat.
   The project, spanning 85,000 square meters, will involve planting 2,000 trees in the eastern courtyards, installing a complete infrastructure for water and electricity networks, constructing 320 canopies, and setting up 350 misting fans.
   The company explained the project will be implemented during the Hajj season 1446 AH to help moderate the climate, especially given the intense heat during the season, and to facilitate the movement of pilgrims as they perform their rituals. Additionally, the company has completed the planting of 20,000 trees across 290,000 square meters as part of the Green Holy Sites initiative, in alignment with the Saudi Green Initiative, which aims to expand green areas and improve the atmosphere.
