FAQ

Can't find the answer you'r looking for? We've shared some of our most frequently asked question to help you out!

How close are the hotels to the Prophet's Mosque?

In the Central Area (Markaziyah), most hotels range from being directly on the courtyard boundary (less than a 1-minute walk) to about a 10-minute walk away. Because the area is heavily pedestrianized and flat, walking to the mosque is very straightforward.

Are flight and hotel packages to Madinah protected?

Yes. When you book your international flights and Madinah hotel together through Stunning Holiday, your entire package is financially protected, ensuring your investment is secure before you travel.

Which hotels are best for women visiting the Rawdah?

Hotels located in the Northern Central Area are generally preferred by female pilgrims. This sector provides the shortest and most direct walking access to the designated Women's Gates of the Prophet's Mosque.

What taxes are applied to Madinah hotel bookings?

Saudi Arabia applies a standard 15% Value Added Tax (VAT) to hotel rooms, along with applicable municipal taxes. When booking with Stunning Holiday, we clarify exactly what is included in your upfront rate and what is payable at the property.

How far is Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED) from the hotels?

The airport in Madinah is located roughly 15 to 20 kilometers from the Central Area. Depending on traffic, a taxi or private transfer typically takes about 25 to 30 minutes to reach the hotels near the Haram.

Do hotels in Madinah have their own prayer halls?

While the primary goal is always to pray inside Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, many of the large 5-star hotels feature their own dedicated prayer halls (Musallas) with live audio feeds from the Haram. These are especially useful during peak seasons when the mosque and courtyards reach full capacity quickly.

Is breakfast included in Madinah hotel stays?

Many hotels in Madinah offer rates that include a comprehensive buffet breakfast. Given the early schedule of Fajr prayers, hotel restaurants usually open very early to accommodate pilgrims returning from the mosque. We highly recommend booking a breakfast-inclusive rate for convenience.

How do I get to my hotel from the Haramain High-Speed Railway Station?

The Madinah Train Station is located approximately 11 to 13 kilometers from the Prophet's Mosque. A taxi ride directly to your hotel in the Central Area typically takes 15 to 20 minutes and costs between 40 and 80 SAR, depending on the vehicle type and ride-hailing service.

Do hotels in Madinah provide wheelchairs for elderly pilgrims?

Yes, almost all 4-star and 5-star hotels in the Central Area provide complimentary wheelchairs for their guests upon request. However, during peak seasons like Ramadan, availability can be limited, so it is highly recommended to request one in advance during your booking.

Is there a dress code for the area around the hotels?

Because the Central Area (Markaziyah) is considered part of the holy precincts, all visitors are required to observe modest Islamic dress at all times as soon as they step out of their hotel rooms.
