He explained that “the site includes more than 45 shaded hangars, each covering 1,000 square meters, in addition to newly installed service tents with a total area of 4,500 square meters.

He further noted that “the work also included covering open courtyards and exposed areas spanning more than 12,000 square meters to protect pilgrims from direct sunlight, in addition to completing all construction work related to the sanitary units, including door installation and floor casting, ensuring they are fully prepared to receive the expected millions of pilgrims during the blessed Arbaeen pilgrimage.”
