The 113-strong all-female batch of military-trained officers stationed at the Prophet’s Mosque was created six months ago.
It is part of the homeland security branch of Saudi Arabia’s Special Security Forces.
The officers work round the clock in four teams of nearly 18 members each.
Women have also played their part in creating legislation and opening businesses and have taken a leading role in private-sector investment.
Saudi Arabia now has its first female professional racing driver, female ambassadors, female judges, and award-winning female filmmakers.
Female police officers joined the ranks of Makkah’s security force for the first time during last summer’s Hajj season, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
