Canopies at Prophet's Mosque Provide Safety, Comfort for Worshippers
The canopies surrounding the Prophet's Mosque play a vital role in enhancing the comfort and safety of worshippers and visitors. Designed to shield them from intense sunlight and fluctuating weather—especially during peak Hajj and Umrah seasons—these structures create a serene and protected environment for prayer and reflection. Constructed to the highest structural and engineering standards, the canopies are built to withstand wind, fire, and rain. Their sand-colored fabric allows natural light to filter through while preserving the distinct artistic patterns that adorn each canopy. The project features 250 retractable canopies, each spanning 25.5 meters per side and rising approximately 22 meters high, with an individual weight of around 40 tons. They are equipped with automated systems that open at sunrise and close before sunset. Each canopy consists of two interlocking segments that fold seamlessly when retracted. Crafted from fiberglass-reinforced carbon fiber and embellished with mosaic designs and gold-plated copper, the canopies reflect a blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal. The sophisticated design includes an internal operating cylinder, eight structural supports, and a series of internal, central, and diagonal arms. To enhance comfort further, 436 mist fans are installed around the canopies to cool the surrounding air, complemented by more than 1,000 integrated lighting units. Together, these features help maintain a moderate climate and create a spiritually uplifting atmosphere. Each canopy can shelter over 900 worshippers, collectively accommodating more than 228,000 people during peak periods.
