One of the most important changes is the prohibition of certain objects from entering the mosque premises.
This includes water bags, bags, and food that are not approved. Al Salami explained in his interview that any items potentially disrupting the pilgrims’ experience would also be banned.

The list also includes sharp objects, flammable liquids, large bags, baskets, and walkers.
