Performing Umrah with Infants and Elderly Parents
Completing Umrah is a lifelong dream, and performing it alongside your children or elderly parents is a blessing. However, high temperatures and massive crowds require specialized planning to protect the health and comfort of your loved ones.
1. Stroller Regulations in Mecca
- Inside Masjid al-Haram: Strollers are generally not allowed on the ground floor during peak Tawaf hours.
- Upper Floors: You can perform Tawaf and Sa'ee with strollers on the dedicated upper floors of Masjid al-Haram.
- Recommendation: Use a light, foldable stroller or a secure baby carrier strap.
2. Wheelchair Services at Masjid al-Haram
- Free Manual Wheelchairs: Available at designated pick-up points outside the Haram. You will need a volunteer or relative to push it.
- Electric Scooters: Highly recommended! Available on the dedicated upper mezzanine floors for both Tawaf and Sa'ee. They are safe, self-driven, and extremely easy to navigate.
- Haram App Booking: You can reserve electric scooters in advance using the official Saudi Apps.
