90 'Zamzam' Drinking points inside Holy Mosque in Makkah

MAKKAH, August 26, SPA -- Three million cups of Zamzam water are
consumed daily at the Holy Mosque here during the month of Ramadan,
said Director of Zamzam Water Distribution in the Grand Mosque Aifan
Al-Juaid.

“More than 1,800 cubic meters of water are consumed inside the
mosque and 270 cubic meters in the courtyards outside each day this
Ramadan,” said Al-Juaid in a press statement.

Pilgrims can drink Zamzam at 90 drinking points consisting of 1,100
taps inside the mosque and 43 drinking areas of 100 taps outside.

Al-Juaid added that new drinking areas have been constructed in the
basement, on the first and second floors, and on the Masa’a. More
drinking facilities have also been arranged in the northern
courtyard.

Pilgrims and visitors are keen to drink plenty of Zamzam water,
which is a tradition of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Zamzam water is also supplied to the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah at a
daily average of 274 cubic meters, the official said.
