Harbi said several universities participated with important research works, and that there are new studies on transportation during Hajj. He said the institute submitted important recommendations to the Central Hajj Committee and the Supreme Hajj Committee. The institute is working on several suggestions received from people around the world. “We are now cooperating with Malaysian universities and are benefiting from them in terms of technology.” There are 22 permanent researchers at the institute. The number increases to about 150 when university researchers join the team. “We are always in touch with university researchers and involve them in our research. Our door is open for anyone who has a vision for development that is based on accurate field data.”
