• High-tech mobile hotel capsules spring up in Mecca so worn out pilgrims can rest and work in peace
  • Mecca’s mobile pods are just over two metres long, 120cm-wide and 120cm-high
  • Made from plastic and fibreglass, the space can also be used to store luggage
  • Magnetic cards are used by guests to open sliding doors at the end of the pods
  • Miniature mobile hotel rooms are being trialled in Saudi Arabia to offer elderly or worn-out pilgrims respite from millions of fellow devotees performing Hajj in Mecca.
  • The stackable pods provide a low-cost accommodation ‘solution’ in crowded places including holy sites, according to Mansour Al-Amer, director of the Jajji and Mu-tamer’s Gift Charitable Association.
