Why groups instead of rooms?
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.
Strict
Age restriction is a strict rule and flexibility will not be provided
Guidance
Age restriction is for guidance only and final decision will be at the discretion of the hotel's management
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.

The time the shuttle takes between the hotel and the drop-off point. Where two numbers are shown, the lower is with no traffic and the higher allows for heavy traffic.

Short 8 minutes walk to King Abdulaziz Gate via south Ajyad Street beside the Clock Tower, same walking distance as King's Gate and Rea Bakhsh Station.
Rea Bakhsh Station
Short 8 minutes walk to King Abdulaziz Gate via south Ajyad Street beside the Clock Tower, same walking distance as King's Gate and Ajyad Station.
Shaib Amir Station
Medium 10 minutes walk to Al Fath Gate on the north-east side, few minutes more than the southern drop-offs.
Mahbas Al Jinn Station
Long 30 minutes walk to King Abdulaziz Gate approaching from the east side, compared to 8 minutes from the southern drop-offs.
King's Gate Station
Short 8 minutes walk to King Abdulaziz Gate via south Ajyad Street beside the Clock Tower, same walking distance as Rea Bakhsh Station and Ajyad Station.

Conrad Jabal Omar Makkah

InterContinental Dar al Tawhid
Short 2 minutes walk to King Fahd Gate on the south-west side via Ibrahim Al Khalil Road.
Ajyad Street
Surface streets rather than a tunnel, so the ride is traffic-dependent: short in distance, but slower than the tunnel routes at prayer times and in Ramadan.
Al-Kidwah Tunnel
Tunnelled for most of the way, so the ride duration changes far less at prayer times than the surface-road routes do. Comes in from the south, past the Clock Tower.
Aljamaraat Tunnel
Tunnelled for most of the way from the Aljamaraat and Jarwal side, avoiding the busiest surface streets; short street sections at either end can still add a few minutes at peak times.
Mahbas Al Jinn Tunnel
Traffic-protected tunnel from the Mahbas Al Jinn and Aziziyah side, but it starts further out than the central tunnels: a longer ride than those, and a steadier one than the road routes.
Maskhoutah Tunnel
Tunnel route from the eastern side of Makkah: one of the longest rides, as it starts well out from the Haram, but 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
Direct tunnel from the Kudai and Ajyad side, shielded from street traffic for most of the way, so the ride stays close to the same figure at any time of day.
Al-Khandama Road
Surface road rather than a tunnel: the ride depends on traffic and local access restrictions, so it varies through the day far more than the tunnel routes.
Jabal Omar
Internal route through the Jabal Omar complex to a Haram-facing drop-off, therefore duration not affected by 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.
Adjacency possible
Rooms can be allocated adjacent to or opposite each other, but cannot be made interconnected. Not guaranteed and subject to availability.
Connection possible
Rooms can be made interconnected by unlocking an internal door between the rooms. Not guaranteed and subject to availability.
One room for all guests

None possible
Rooms can neither be adjacent to nor opposite each other nor be made interconnected
Prices include taxes & fees
Many websites hide taxes and fees for additional guests, showing only base occupancy rates and making it hard to compare real prices.
We, in contrast, show real total prices that cover taxes and all guests, including children.
Room Suitability Guarantee
Suitability of each room for the whole family is determined automatically, taking into account the number of adults and exact ages of children. Only suitable rooms are offered to be booked online
Precise Total Family Pricing
Precise total prices are calculated for whole family, taking into account number of adults and exact ages of children
