“Electric Scooter”…Experiment carried out for the first time in Hajj

The Saudi Minister of Transport and Logistics, Saleh Al-Jasser, was briefed on Saturday about the electric scooter, which is being tested for the first time during this year’s Hajj.

Al-Jasser was briefed on “the workflow of this mechanism, the mechanisms used, and the method of training pilgrims to use them,” according to the Saudi Press Agency, “SPA”.
The scooter is one of the modern modes of transport, which the transport and logistics system seeks to expand in various modes of transport. With the aim of serving the “Guests of the Most Merciful”.

The scooter aims to “shorten the time to travel between sacred sites”; The distance he travels between Arafat and Muzdalifah is 15 minutes, compared to an hour walking on foot. Its suitability and suitability for use in the coming years will be measured.
On Saturday, about a million pilgrims from different countries of the world flocked to Mina to throw the Great Jamrah of Aqaba on the first day of Eid al-Adha, after they spent their night in the sacred site of Muzdalifah.
