Salek Al-Mashaaer

An integrated immersive simulation system for the Hajj season, serving the pilgrim, the field worker, and organising entities, turning season preparation from theory into safe, data-measured practice.

You cannot set a camp on fire to train your team, or stage a crowd surge to test your supervisors. And they should not face either for the first time mid-season.

The Radeef app

“Right behind your pilgrim, every step of the way.” Radeef links the pilgrim with their family moment by moment. One status card reassures the family, and guidance reaches the pilgrim in a loved one’s voice. The campaign sees the riskiest first, and privacy runs on explicit consent per data category under the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law.

Field proof

Measured impact from the heart of the season

The value did not stay theoretical. The emergency-scenarios experience ran in the field at Al Rajhi Commercial Support Services and Saudia Hajj & Umrah, with workers from other sectors in the Hajj environment, and a direct survey was administered to 47 trainees right after the session.

Designed for

Government and regulatory bodies overseeing season readiness, Tawafa companies and pilgrim service providers, emergency, health, and safety entities, and international Hajj missions and pilgrim affairs offices. We equip the organisers, and the pilgrim arrives ready.

Where Salik goes next

  • Extending field coverage from emergency cadres to the rest of the season's roles: dispatch, guidance, and camp services.
  • Preparing pilgrims before travel through Hajj missions and Tawafa companies in their home countries, so they arrive knowing the way in their language.
  • Making measured mastery proof an accredited readiness standard for seasonal cadres at organising entities.

Prepare your next season

In the demo we determine how the Salek Al-Mashaaer system serves your organisation: from qualifying field cadres to preparing pilgrims before travel.
