Masjid al-Haram's Expansion: From Umar's Short Wall to Zamzam-Water Robots

According to the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, the boundaries of the Haram zone extend significantly in all directions. To the north, the boundary reaches Masjid Aisha, five kilometers from central Mecca. In the south, it stretches up to twenty kilometers toward Mount Arafat. To the west, the boundary reaches the Hudaybiyyah area near Jeddah, approximately 18 kilometers away. Finally, the eastern boundary extends to Ji'ranah, about 14.5 kilometers from Mecca. These extensive borders highlight the vast religious and logistical scope of Masjid al-Haram’s influence.
