Working prototype · Built for Hajj & Umrah 2026

السلام عليكم

A handshake becomes a conversation.

SalamLink turns the universal Islamic greeting into a private, real-time conversation bridge — so any two pilgrims can speak heart-to-heart in their own language during Umrah and Hajj.

The opportunity

A vast, unmet need for dignified connection

Every year tens of millions of pilgrims gather in shared sacred spaces from every part of the world. Most cannot hold a real conversation across language barriers. Existing translation tools are transactional — they don't create human connection at the moment it matters most.

What it does

Designed around the natural Islamic greeting

SalamLink fits into the social ritual of meeting a fellow believer — not as another notification app, but as a moment of brotherhood made possible by technology that stays out of the way.

01

Open to connect

A pilgrim signals they are open to meeting fellow Muslims. Off means handshakes stay social only.

02

The handshake

Two people exchange salams. The moment is recognised and a private session opens between them.

03

Speak naturally

Each person speaks their own language. Translated text and audio appear on the other side, in real time.

The wearable

A companion device, quietly present

Hands-on, dignified, and designed for the rhythms of pilgrimage — the wearable stays out of the way until the moment of greeting. Imagery below shows the current lab prototype.

Lab-prototype reference imagery. Production form factor, materials, and engineering details are confidential and shared with partners under NDA.

Why now

A communication layer for a safer, more inclusive pilgrimage

As Saudi Arabia scales toward 30 million pilgrims a year, multilingual communication becomes core infrastructure — not just an app feature. SalamLink is aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 across the pilgrim experience.

Capacity expansion

A human-to-human communication layer for pilgrims, guides, volunteers, and service teams at scale.

Digital pilgrim experience

Technology-enabled services that make meeting and helping fellow Muslims effortless.

Spiritual & cultural enrichment

Pilgrimage is also about connecting with Muslims from every part of the world.

Operational readiness

Easing bottlenecks across hotels, transport, medical support, and crowd management.
