When searching for a family, include all guests into the same group. Our system will offer to book either 1 large room which is suitable or 2+ smaller rooms when needed with connection or adjacency where possible. Sometimes multiple smaller rooms are a better deal than 1 large room.
Only when searching for multiple families that must stay in separate rooms, enter each family as a separate group.

Guidance

South-facing
The room view is facing south. When you perform your prayers in your room you face towards Al-Masjid an-Nabawi as the Kaaba (Mecca) is also in the south. This means Al-Masjid an-Nabawi is in front of you during your prayers.
East-facing
The room view is facing east. When you perform your prayers in your room you face sideways to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi as the Kaaba (Mecca) is in the south. This means Al-Masjid an-Nabawi is on your left side during your prayers.
For rooms where Al-Masjid an-Nabawi is in front of you during your prayers, please choose a hotel with “south-facing” rooms.
North-facing
The room view is facing north. When you perform your prayers in your room you face away from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi as the Kaaba (Mecca) is in the south. This means Al-Masjid an-Nabawi is behind you during your prayers.
For rooms where Al-Masjid an-Nabawi is in front of you during your prayers, please choose a hotel with “south-facing” rooms.

Ajyad Station
Short, 8-minute walk to King Abdulaziz Gate via southern Ajyad Street beside the Clock Tower—the same walking time as Rea Bakhsh and King's Gate stations.
Rea Bakhsh Station
Short, 8-minute walk to King Abdulaziz Gate via southern Ajyad Street beside the Clock Tower—the same walking time as Ajyad and King's Gate stations.
Shaib Amir Station
Medium, 10-minute walk to Al Fath Gate on the north-east side—2 minutes longer than the southern stations, but 2 minutes shorter than Jarwal.
King's Gate Station
Short, 8-minute walk to King Abdulaziz Gate: walk underneath the Clock Tower and take the escalator upstairs—the same walking time as Ajyad and Rea Bakhsh stations.
Jarwal Station
Medium, 12-minute walk to King Abdullah Gate on the north-west side—4 minutes longer than the southern stations and 2 minutes longer than Shaib Amir and Al Ghaza.
Conrad Jabal Omar Makkah
Very short, 3-minute walk to King Fahd Gate via Ibrahim Al Khalil Road—the second-closest drop-off, only 1 minute longer than InterContinental and 5 minutes shorter than the southern stations.
Al Ghaza Station
Medium, 10-minute walk to Al Fath Gate on the north-east side—the same walking time as Shaib Amir, 2 minutes longer than the southern stations and 2 minutes shorter than Jarwal.
InterContinental Dar al Tawhid
Shortest walk of all drop-offs: 2 minutes to King Fahd Gate via Ibrahim Al Khalil Road—1 minute shorter than Conrad and 6 minutes shorter than the southern stations.
Bab Ali Station
Short, 5-minute walk to Ali Gate on the eastern side—one of the nearest drop-offs and the closest of the shuttle stations, 2 minutes longer than Conrad and 3 minutes shorter than the southern stations.
King's Gate Station via Kudai Car Park
Two-stage journey: the hotel shuttle drops guests at Kudai Car Park, where they transfer to a free government shuttle to King's Gate Station by the Clock Tower near the Haram, followed by a short, 8-minute walk to King Abdulaziz Gate—the same final walk as Ajyad and Rea Bakhsh stations, but with one additional shuttle transfer.
Ajyad Street
Short surface-street route rather than a tunnel: traffic-dependent and slower than the tunnel routes at prayer times and in Ramadan.
Al Kidwah Tunnel
One of the shortest tunnel routes, coming in from the south past the Clock Tower. More traffic-protected and much steadier at prayer times than the surface-road routes.
Al Jamarat Tunnel
Longer than the central Ajyad and Al Kidwah tunnels because it starts from the Al Jamarat and Jarwal side, but steadier than the surface-road routes; only the short street sections at either end are traffic-sensitive.
Mahbas Al Jinn Tunnel
Longer tunnel route from the Mahbas Al Jinn and Aziziah side: it starts further out than the central tunnels, but is traffic-protected and steadier than the road routes.
Maskhoutah Tunnel
One of the longest tunnel routes, from the eastern side of Makkah: it starts well out from the Haram, but is less exposed to traffic than the main-road routes.
Masfalah Tunnel
Short, tunnelled ride from the Masfalah side - closer in than the eastern tunnels and less exposed to street traffic than the road routes.
Kudai Tunnel
Medium-length tunnel route from the Kudai and Ajyad side: longer than the central Ajyad and Al Kidwah tunnels, but shielded from street traffic for most of the way and therefore much steadier than the road routes.
Al Khindama Road
Surface-road approach rather than a tunnel: shorter than the outer eastern routes, but far more traffic-sensitive than any tunnel route, with local access restrictions adding further variation through the day.
Jabal Omar Internal Road
Among the shortest and most consistent routes: an internal journey through the Jabal Omar complex to a Haram-facing drop-off, with no exposure to public-road traffic.
Aziziah Road
Main roads the whole way from Aziziah: the most traffic-exposed of the routes, and the most likely to run to the top of its journey-time range at prayer times.
Al Taqwa Street
Fairly short surface route from the Al Hijrah side, south of the Haram, when clear: fully exposed to traffic and local restrictions, so the ride can take more than twice as long at busy times.
King Faisal Road
Longer surface-road route forming the main eastern approach from the Al Maabdah and Al Shara’i side: with no tunnel protection, traffic and access controls can extend the ride near the Haram.
Al Masjid Al Haram Road
Main surface road along the Al Maabdah and Shaib Amir approach to the Haram: direct but traffic-exposed, and one of the road routes most likely to lengthen at peak times.
Al Taysir Road
Short surface-road route from Al Taysir and Jarwal to Jarwal Station, close to the Haram. Usually one of the quickest road approaches, though traffic and access controls can still add time at peak periods.
Ajyad Tunnel
Very short tunnel route through the Ajyad section of the First Ring Road, close to the Haram and King's Gate Station. Shielded from surface traffic for most of the ride, so journey times stay very steady.
Ibrahim Al Khalil Road
Short, direct surface-road approach for the central hotels from the Masfalah side to the western edge of the Haram: with no tunnel protection, traffic and prayer-time access restrictions can affect the ride.
