Who are the Saudi families distributing Zamzam water for over 14 centuries?

Later on, the family of Al Zubayr performed the sacred responsibility of filling water for many years.

With the passage of time and speed of spreading of Islam all over the world, the number of visitors to Makkah also increased. Seeing this situation, the duty of distributing ZamZam water was later delivered to many other families.

Before the time when the refrigerators were not commonly used, the Chairman of Zamazemah United office, Abdul Hadi Abdul Jalil Zamazemi, deployed the Zanmazemi Family to distribute water. They performed their duty very well.

They offered their duty well and wore a type of traditional uniform. This family got united to distribute water to the pilgrims of Makkah. They distribute water to more than 2 million pilgrims every year.

Before distributing the water to the pilgrims these family usually used to put water in their potter flask and copper pots. This kept the water cold, rather than heating in the shining sun.

This work was done for thousands of years until 1982.  Now with the latest inventions, refrigerators, and water cooler are placed everywhere in the Holy Mosque. Taps are places everywhere. Pilgrims can easily get the water everywhere.
