Some of the important observations which were taken into account  are:1-Studying and assessing of the structural system of the First Saudi Expansion.2-Paying attention to crowd movement and fragmentation of human blocks inside and outside Masjid-al-Haram.3-To  Facilitate the entry and exit movement in the entrances of the Masjid  al Haram building so as to provide safety and security to the visitors.4-Preparing  passages and roads leading to Masjid al Haram and developing a guidance  system to facilitate the arrival and departure.5-Developing a system for shading the mataf courtyard and the roof of Masjid al Haram and the external squares surrounding it.6-Providing  specific and separate passages to people with special needs and the  elderly and developing an automated system to serve them.7-The importance of  linking (the Mataf) with the Third Saudi Expansion and activating the basement level.-The  Ministry team assigned a number of consulting offices (in the field of  structural studies and supporting and re-enforcing structures) to study  and assess the structural system of the First Saudi Expansion and its  ability to cope with the above-mentioned demands. The results of this  study suggested that the current structure was unable to support  additional upper floors and future demands.-The  Ministry team and a representative of the Genral Authority recommended  that the First Saudi Expansion should be rebuilt complying with the same  standards that were used in building the Third Saudi Expansion.-Based on the above, the proposed project was developed to raise the capacity of the  Mataf and the parts attatched to it.
