About & Editorial Policy

Who operates this site

AlHaram.live is operated by Blackriver Fintech OÜ, a software company registered in Estonia at Ruunaoja tn 3, 11415 Tallinn, registration number 16475432, VAT EE102482937.

We are not a government body. We are not affiliated with the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, or any Saudi official entity. We do not represent them and we do not speak for them.

Where the streams come from

The live broadcasts from Al-Masjid al-Haram and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi are produced by Saudi state television and distributed through its official channels. We embed those broadcasts; we do not produce them, and we do not operate a camera inside either mosque.

What we add is everything around the picture: prayer times for both cities, a bilingual interface, reference guides, and backup sources for when the primary feed drops.

Where the prayer times come from

The prayer times shown here are calculated and retrieved from the AlAdhan API. They are intended for planning, not as a ruling: when you are at the Haram, the adhan is what to follow.

How the guides are written

Guides are written by the AlHaram.live Editorial. Each one lists its official sources at the foot of the page and carries the date it was last checked against them. We do not publish news attributed to official bodies, and we do not use stock photography captioned as press imagery.

Guides are researched and drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by a human before publication. We state that plainly because a reader deciding whether to rely on travel and permit information is entitled to know how it was produced.

If something here is wrong, tell us. We correct the guide and date the correction.

How this site is funded

Through affiliate links for travel services — hotels, flights, eSIMs. If you book through one of those links we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

We do not accept payment to change the order of a recommendation, and we do not publish sponsored content. Full detail is on the affiliate disclosure page.
