——————————
The Al-`Alawi Holy Shrine in Najaf has launched a new mobile application to help pilgrims navigate the massive Arba’een crowds. The app, called “Lost and Found Guide,” is designed to simplify the pilgrimage experience, especially for those who are separated from their group.

According to a report from the Shia Waves Agency, citing Middle East News, the free and offline application supports four languages: Arabic, Persian, English, and Urdu. It offers several key features, including a search function for missing pilgrims and lost items, interactive maps, a directory of hotels and services, and safety tips.

The development of this app represents a significant technological advancement in crowd management for the pilgrimage, with the potential to greatly improve the safety and security of the millions of pilgrims who visit Najaf each year.
