1Choose your package
Accommodation in Makkah
It all comes down to the distance to the Haram.
This is the one criterion that genuinely changes how the trip feels: how many times a day you can walk to the Haram without exhausting yourself. Here are our two hotels and what separates them.
Closest
Manarat Ghazza
600 m from the Haram ≈ 8 min on foot Makkah
The one to choose if you are travelling with elderly pilgrims, or if you intend to return to the Haram repeatedly between prayers.

On request

More affordable
Es-Safat
1,200 m from the Haram ≈ 15 min on foot Makkah
A little further from the Haram — and that is precisely what brings the cost of the stay down for otherwise equivalent services.

The hotel is chosen from the options available for your package. Before any confirmation we tell you the exact location, the distance to the Haram and the transport arrangements.
