MAKKAH: The Mataf expansion at the Grand Mosque in Makkah has received royal approval to be named The Saudi Riwaq.

The announcement was made by Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Sudais, president of the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques.

He said: “The Saudi Riwaq, which includes the Mataf expansion project behind the Abbasid courtyard, surrounding the Holy Kaaba’s courtyard, was established when King Abdulaziz, the founder of Saudi Arabia, ordered the expansion of the Grand Mosque to accommodate the increasing numbers of pilgrims.”
