   The commission’s efforts this year built on early preparations that began immediately after the previous Hajj season.

   The transport system achieved several operational indicators, as more than 1.44 million pilgrims were transported from entry points through over 45,000 trips. In addition, over 1.1 million pilgrims were transported between cities through more than 31,000 trips.
   Saudi Arabia’s Adahi project reached an unprecedented milestone during the Hajj season, recording a historic total of 1,204,087 contracts for sacrificial animal services.
   Kidana Development Company implemented a range of shading, landscaping, and climate-control projects. These included replacing misting columns with misting fans in the western area of the Jamarat facility, as well as a shading and climate-control project in the surroundings of Jabal Al-Rahmah.
   Infrastructure development projects included expanding the emergency hospital in Mina to 400 beds and implementing the second phase of modern restroom complexes in Muzdalifah and Arafat.
   Pilgrim satisfaction indicators recorded an overall satisfaction rate of 93.1% during the 1447 AH Hajj season, marking an increase of 2.1 percentage points compared with the 1446 AH season.
   The Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites affirmed that these achievements reflect the integrated efforts of all entities involved in the Hajj ecosystem and their continued commitment to enhancing services in Makkah and the holy sites.
