Videos showing the Dedication of Saudi Arabia in looking after the Two Holy Mosques and all those who visit them


1. Please Note:
There are musical voices in the background of some of the videos therefore I advise you to put them on silent. The pictures and captions are sufficient to gain understanding of the fascinating and extremely precise care that is shown in maintaining the Two most Holy Mosques in the world.
Allaah bless and reward all those involved, aameen!

2. Please Note:
Pictures of people and animals are haraam in Islaam. There is a severe punishment for those who take pictures. Some Scholars have allowed viewing certain material that contain pictures if there is an educational benefit and the content is not indecent or against the values of Islaam. Allaah Knows Best.
