During the upcoming Hajj season, Saudi Arabia plans to offer new ways for pilgrims to get around, as announced by Saudi Transport Minister Saleh Al-Jasser. Along with buses and trains, pilgrims will now have flying taxis and drones available to them, making travel easier during the holy pilgrimage.
These modern transportation options are meant to make the pilgrimage journey smoother and more convenient for pilgrims. With the help of taxi apps and other tech tools, pilgrims will have more choices in how they travel.
This decision to include flying taxis and drones in the transportation system for Hajj builds on previous efforts. Last year, there were plans to test flying taxis during Hajj, and now, those plans are becoming a reality. Saudi Arabian Airlines will play a big role by using about 100 aircraft to help transport pilgrims.
One exciting addition to the transportation fleet is the Lilium jet, which will offer fast flights between important pilgrimage spots like Jeddah and Makkah. These short flights are expected to make travel easier and faster for pilgrims, making the Hajj experience smoother overall.
By introducing flying taxis, drones, and other modern transportation options, Saudi Arabia shows its dedication to making the Hajj pilgrimage better for everyone. By using new technologies and improving transportation, the country wants to meet the changing needs of pilgrims while still honoring the importance of this sacred journey.
