Ahead of Hajj 2025, Saudi city Taif, popularly described as Mecca’s twin on account of its religious and logistic importance, is accelerating preparations for smooth services all through the pilgrimage season. Taif has put into action an integrated action plan for upgrading facilities, mobility, and emergency readiness along major routes for the pilgrims.
Some one hour’s distance from Mecca, Taif is an important base for pilgrims arriving in the holy city, particularly those driving or looking to stay in the cooler highlands. Officials have confirmed day and night deployment of medical teams, traffic patrols, sanitation teams, and hospitality support teams to serve the enormous visitor influx expected during June.
Some of the new initiative involves smart monitoring systems, enhanced signage in several languages, and special lanes for buses that transport pilgrims. The municipality of the city has also stepped up food safety checks and water supply maintenance to guarantee public health standards at rest stops, hotels, and restaurants.
Authorities are requesting citizens to take their share of responsibility in providing order and helping international visitors. With its dual appeal of religious significance and renovated infrastructure, Taif is looking to be a model of preparedness, assuring that all pilgrims’ journeys are calm, secure, and rewarding.
