More information about Final Jeopardy:
A line that opened in 2010, the Al Mashaaer Al Mugaddassah Metro line replaced about 53,000 buses, but only runs the week of the Hajj. Each 12-car train on the line can carry up to 3,000 people at one time between various holy sites in the Mecca, Mount Arafar, Muzdalifah, and Mina regions.
The Haramain high-speed railway, connecting Mecca with Medina, opened in September 2018.
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to Alex Trebek’s preferred charity. (The de facto alumni association is currently inquiring with the show in order to determine Alex Trebek’s preferred charity; this will be updated when that has been determined. To date, $199.61 has been raised.)
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
