The capacity of the Grand Mosque in Makkah al-Mukarramah exceeds 1.7 million worshippers, including all the indoor prayer areas, external and internal courtyards, all floors in the Third Saudi Expansion and its related elements, as well as the remaining buildings of the Grand Mosque, the Mataf (circumambulation area), and the Sa'i area.

The buildings of the Grand Mosque and its external and internal courtyards offer a range of services for visitors, Umrah performers, and pilgrims. These include facilities for individuals with disabilities, services related to Qurans, translation of Friday and Eid sermons, lessons, and religious rulings. Additionally, the mosque provides mobile phone charging stations and arrangements for Iftar meals during Ramadan. There are also dedicated complexes for restrooms located around the Grand Mosque.

The Haram area includes several Saudi Red Crescent centers, permanent and temporary health centers, as well as Ajyad Hospital opposite the King Abdulaziz Gate and al-Haram Hospital opposite the King Abdullah Gate in the Third Saudi Expansion.
