Can we get a wheelchair at the Haram in Makkah?

Options at the Haram

• Wheelchairs available at the mosque, plus porters who push for a fee.
• Electric carts for tawaf and sa'i on designated floors.
• Your own folding wheelchair — handy for the hotel, airport and ziyarat.

Tips

• Upper floors are usually easier for wheelchair tawaf, though longer.
• Agree any porter fee before starting, and keep the group together.
• Go at quieter times; avoid right after congregational prayers.
• Airlines can arrange wheelchair assistance at Indian and Saudi airports — request it when booking.
