Madinah Gov. Prince Abdul Aziz bin Majed expressed his happiness at the royal visit and said it would boost the region’s development. “King Abdullah’s visit carries a lot of glad tidings for the people of Madinah,” the governor said. The Prophet’s Mosque expansion includes installation of 182 sunshades in courtyards around the mosque for the benefit of 200,000 worshippers. A single sunshade will cover an area of 576 square meters.
The mosque’s eastern courtyard will be expanded, adding 37,000 square meters and creating additional prayer place for 70,000 worshippers.
With the completion of the new expansion project, all residential areas of old Madinah would become part the mosque complex. Researcher Tandheeb Al-Fayedi said the expansion of the Prophet’s Mosque has covered old Madinah completely.
“Some buildings that sprouted 100 years ago outside the old city have been added to the new complex,” he added. Souk Al-Manakha, an important market since olden times and which begins from Ghamama Mosque to Sabaq Mosque, has been included in the expansion.
Some of the old residential districts that are included in the new expansion are: Harrat Aghwat on the east of Haram, Bab Al-Majeedi on the north, Bab Al-Salam on the west, and Hammam Taiba on the south.
