Hotels

42 named hotels,measured distances

Every property below is one we actually place pilgrims in — seven in each city at each star band — listed with its real walking distance. In Makkah they run from 100 m to 1.5 km from the Haram. We publish both ends because the near one is a walk, the far one is a shuttle, and it is the one thing you can check before you pay.

Distances are approximate walking routes

Measured from the hotel entrance to the nearest gate, not to the mataf, and rounded honestly. In Ramadan the practical walk is longer than any map suggests, because the approaches are managed and the crowds are dense — which is exactly when the difference between 100 m and 1.5 km stops being a detail. Which pairing you are on is confirmed in writing with every booking, and a substitution is always within the same star band.
