Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, Medina

Umbrellas in Masjid al-Nabawi are a unique sun protection system. Creating a safe shade on the vast area near the mosque has become a vital necessity for a huge number of pilgrims. 

Giant umbrellas in the Medina were built in 2010, but still these structures serve as an example of the embodiment of modern technical thought. 

The height of each umbrella is 20 meters. These are quite impressive dimensions for hinged structures. The total area covered by film structures is 143 thousand square meters.
