Inspiration
One of us went with her family to maakah and lost her mother for 1 hour she couldn’t find her , she couldn’t recognize her place , it was so crowded , people almost wear same outfit men in white Aahram , women in black (abya ) all in same pattern . she search for her until find close to one of gates. and when we searched in how to find something to help we find alot of complaints regrading this but didn’t find any tool to solve it . Our story was in (Umrah) what about Hajj !!!!.
What it does:
Safe-Hajj is a connectivity App that helps Hajjis to connect together.
How we built it:
by Using the following Technologies: Location Based(GPS), Wireless Connectivity, Android SDK, FireBase.
