Jamaraat Bridge


Jamaraat Bridge


Each year millions of Muslims make the hajj pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, fulfilling the obligation that all Muslims visit Islam's holiest city at least once in their lives, if they are physically and financially able.

During the five-day hajj, pilgrims perform a series of religious rites along a 12-kilometre route, including the ritual "Stoning of the Devil" at Jamaraat Bridge in nearby Mina.


Otis answered the call.


The new Jamaraat Bridge, completed in 2009, features five levels, a column-free interior space and 328 Otis escalators: 28 in each of the bridge's 11 towers, plus another 20 that provide external access to the bridge. The bridge is also equipped with six passenger elevators, two ambulance elevators and two helipad elevators.

Stoning the Devil

Mit dem "Stoning of the Devil" Ritual setzen sich die Pilger mit dem Schicksal Abrahams auseinander, der beinahe seinen eigenen Sohn opferte. Erst in letzer Sekunde konnte dies verhindert werden.
