The “Kidana Al-Wadi” project envisions a future of excellence, setting a competitive benchmark in serving the Guests of Allah. Kidana Development and Innovation Company is spearheading a qualitative transformation in the services offered at the holy sites by focusing on development, humanization, and enhancing infrastructure. One of its flagship projects is the Kidana Al-Wadi Towers in Mina, which spans 165,000 square meters and accommodates 37,000 pilgrims. The project offers a wide range of services designed to improve the quality of facilities, including fully equipped residential buildings featuring medical clinics, indoor prayer areas, dining halls, and central kitchens. Additionally, the towers are strategically located near the Jamarat Bridge to enhance the pilgrimage experience for visitors.
Features of the Kidana Al-Wadi Towers Project:
The project consists of 10 towers, each accommodating 37,000 pilgrims. Each building includes a ground floor, four upper floors, and two prayer halls with a capacity for over 600 worshippers. Each building also features a central kitchen, covering 280 square meters, capable of producing 15,000 meals daily. The rooftops are designed as open spaces equipped with services for pilgrims to relax. These modern towers serve as a competitive model in hosting pilgrims, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s dedication to achieving the highest standards of excellence in pilgrimage services.
To optimize operations, Kidana is utilizing two operational centers, “Tasleem” and “Malik,” in the holy sites to enhance and refine services in Mina.
