How do I rent a wheelchair for حج rituals?

Wheelchair rental services are widely available at مسجد الحرام. Authorized providers operate near the main entrances, offering manual wheelchairs and electric scooters for rental by the hour or by the ritual. For طواف specifically, you can hire an operator to push you in a wheelchair around the کعبۃ اللہ — this typically costs 100-200 SAR per طواف session, though prices fluctuate during peak حج days.

The Haram administration also provides free wheelchair assistance through dedicated services for elderly and disabled حجاج. The mataf (طواف area) has a designated wheelchair lane on the ground floor, and the upper floors are fully accessible via ramps and elevators. The sa'i corridor between Safa and Marwa is also wheelchair-accessible. In منیٰ and عرفات, wheelchair accessibility varies — discuss your specific needs with your حج operator in advance to ensure proper arrangements.
