SafetyFound someone’s bag?
Don’t open it — hand it to staff or Lost & Found.
چرا مهم است
In the Haram lost property may be picked up only to return it. A bag may hold a passport, medicine or money someone cannot travel without.
انجام دهید
- Hand it to uniformed security or an information desk
- Note the gate and time where you found it
- Take it to the Lost & Found office (near gates 94–95 in Makkah)
پرهیز کنید
- Opening it or taking anything
- Keeping it “to return later”
- Making announcements yourself — staff handle claims
- Leaving your own bag unattended
چه باید کرد
- Pick it up only if it blocks the way
- Give it to security and say where you found it — they log it centrally
- Lost something yourself? Go back to the spot, then the Lost & Found office with a description and unique marks
- Lost a passport? Report at Lost & Found, then police via your hotel, your agency and consulate
