As per the authority, men can enter from 8 AM to 11 AM in the morning, while women can enter from 8 PM to 2 AM from evening to early morning. The visitors can enter Hateem through the designated western gate.
The northern side of the Kaaba has Hijr Ismail, or Hateem, or Stone of Ismail, a semicircular low wall of white marble. It is also the original part of the Holy Kaaba, as the space lying between the Hateem and the Kaaba belonged to the Holy Kaaba itself at one time.
To ensure seamless circulation and effective visits to the facility, the authorities underlined the necessity of visitors following directions and admission times. These efforts reflect the authority's desire to deliver the greatest services to pilgrims and a unique spiritual experience near the Holy Kaaba. Follow Saudi Expatriates on X
