AI to Manage Hajj Crowds
Saudi Arabia is showcasing crowd-management technologies at the Hajj Conference and Exhibition 2026, taking place in Jeddah from November 8 to 11. These include smart cameras, data analytics, predictive algorithms, and real-time monitoring, all aimed at detecting and forecasting congestion and directing pilgrims to less crowded routes. Among the most prominent solutions is the “Sawaher” platform, which used more than 5,000 cameras across 80 locations during Hajj 1447 AH, supported by 31 dashboards and 16 algorithms. Another is “Basir,” which analyzes crowd movement inside the Grand Mosque and can process data on more than one million worshippers a day as part of the Mataf project. Other solutions include the “Digital Mutawwif” feature in the Nusuk app, which guides pilgrims and counts their circuits during tawaf and sa’i, as well as services that display crowd levels in the Mataf and Mas’a in real time. Artificial intelligence is also being used to improve crowd dispersal and transport between the holy sites. Preparations also include digital-twin technologies, drones, and the Internet of Things. However, it has not been confirmed whether all the proposed solutions will be deployed in the field during the 1448 AH Hajj season.
