Field Centers Operating 24/7 to Deliver Zamzam Water to Residences of Pilgrims in Mecca
It comes as thousands of people are arriving in the kingdom ahead of Hajj pilgrimage due later this month.
The Saudi Al Zamazemah Company has mobilized its human resources and set up nine field centers operating around the clock to deliver Zamzam right to residences of pilgrims in the holy city of Mecca.
“The field service centers are working around the clock in Mecca and the holy places manned by over 950 employees overseen by a group of supervisors and center managers,” said Rayan Zamazmi, the deputy supervisor of the season works.
He added that a fleet of 137 trucks are mobilized to transport Zamzam to the pilgrims’ houses according to the highest safety standards.
Last week, the company launched an electronic platform with the aim of delivering Zamzam packets to pilgrims’ houses.
Robots were used during last year’s Hajj pilgrimage to distribute Zamzam bottles at the Grand Mosque in Mecca as part of precautions against COVID-19.
Zamzam is also popular with overseas pilgrims who present it as a gift to relatives and friends after home return.
Upcoming Hajj is set to mark the return of the numbers of the pilgrims from across the globe to pre-epidemic levels. Saudi Arabia has maximized preparations for Hajj, one of Islam’s five obligatory duties.
Riyadh has said there will be no limits on the numbers of pilgrims from around the world for the upcoming Hajj season, reversing earlier restrictions prompted by the global pandemic.
