The electric umbrellas installed on concrete pillars allow 500,000 visitors to worship comfortably at the mosque by preventing direct exposure to sunlight and moderating the temperature.

They are supported with fans that blow air mixed with drops of cold water using an accurate automated system that absorbs thermal energy from the air and reduces the temperature, Arab news reported .
