250 movable umbrellas protect worshippers at the Prophet’s Mosque

The Prophet’s Mosque has 250 movable umbrellas covering its courtyards.

The umbrellas are designed to protect worshippers from rain and changing weather.

The system also includes water drainage systems.

Together, the umbrellas and drainage form an engineering system for the mosque’s outdoor spaces.

This matters because the equipment offers protection from weather while people are in the courtyards.

The available information does not say what further changes or steps are planned.
