The Saudi Arabian government is now providing a free wheelchair loan service for elderly Indonesian Hajj pilgrims requiring assistance with mobility around the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid Nabawi) in Medina and its surrounding areas. This initiative aims to ease the Hajj experience for senior pilgrims who may have difficulty navigating the large crowds and distances. Previously, pilgrims needing wheelchairs faced rental costs. The service is available without charge, removing a financial burden for those undertaking the religious journey. This assistance is part of broader efforts to improve services for Hajj pilgrims. The program intends to ensure a more comfortable and accessible Hajj for all participants, particularly the elderly and those with physical limitations.
