RIYADH: Two nursery centers have been established as part of the third Saudi expansion of the Grand Mosque in Makkah.
The new services have been introduced by the General Authority for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, in collaboration with various government agencies.
A Saudi Press Agency report says the centers are located near Al-Haram Emergency Hospital and offer a safe haven for young visitors.
With a combined capacity of approximately 1,500 children daily, the centers cater for girls aged between 1 and ten years old, and for boys from 1 to 8 years old.
Staffed by a team of childcare specialists, they provide a range of amenities including meals, a dining area, a space for educational entertainment through visual media, and interactive models highlighting the landmarks of the Two Holy Mosques and the rituals performed there. Private sleeping rooms are also available.
