The prayers will also be held in all mosques, with the exception of those that are close to the Eid prayer grounds or in towns and villages where the locals normally gather at their own designated spot for the Eid prayer.
All around the Kingdom, the minister has issued directions requiring early preparation for the Eid prayer, including the provision of all essential services at prayer locations, such as maintenance, cleanliness, and operation, in order to ensure a comfortable and peaceful experience for worshippers.
The Kingdom is home to 19,887 mosques and prayer grounds, all of which are carefully maintained and clean, with carpets installed to provide an environment that is favorable to spiritual growth. Follow Saudi Expats News at our Telegram
