FAQ

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

Which hotel area is best if I am traveling with elderly parents?

The Clock Tower (Abraj Al Bait) is highly recommended for elderly pilgrims or those with mobility issues. It is the only complex connected to the Haram via flat, air-conditioned, and covered walkways, meaning you do not have to navigate traffic or steep outdoor inclines.

Are flight and hotel packages to Makkah protected?

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

Do all hotels in Makkah provide a view of the Kaaba?

No. Only a specific selection of hotels situated directly adjacent to the Haram (mostly within the Clock Tower complex and the front of Jabal Omar) offer genuine Kaaba views. These rooms must be specifically booked and always carry a premium rate compared to "City View" or "Haram View" rooms.

What taxes are applied to Makkah hotel bookings?

Saudi Arabia applies a standard 15% Value Added Tax (VAT) to hotel rooms. Additionally, a municipal tax is applied. When booking with Stunning Holiday, we will clearly outline which taxes are included in your upfront rate and which (if any) are payable at the hotel desk.

If I stay in Aziziyah, how do I get to the Haram for prayers?

Because Aziziyah is beyond walking distance, almost all reputable hotels in this district operate complimentary 24-hour shuttle buses. These buses drop pilgrims off at designated points near the Haram boundaries, though you will still need to walk a short distance from the drop-off point to the mosque entrances.

Do Makkah hotels have their own prayer halls?

Yes, most large 4-star and 5-star hotels near the Haram feature their own large, carpeted prayer halls (Musallas). These are often connected to the live audio feed of the Grand Mosque, allowing guests to pray in congregation from the hotel if the Haram is full or if they are unable to make the walk.

Can I arrange airport transfers from Jeddah to my Makkah hotel?

Absolutely. Makkah does not have its own commercial airport; most international pilgrims arrive via King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) in Jeddah. We can easily bundle a private, air-conditioned transfer into your hotel package, or you can take the Haramain High-Speed Railway which connects Jeddah Airport directly to Makkah.

Do Makkah hotels provide wheelchairs?

Many luxury hotels offer complimentary wheelchairs for guests to use around the property, but availability is strictly first-come, first-served. If you need a wheelchair for performing Tawaf or Sa'i inside the Grand Mosque, it is best to rent one directly from the designated rental desks within the Haram itself.

Can I perform Umrah multiple times during my stay?

Yes, there is no limit to how many times you can perform Umrah while on a tourist or Umrah visa. However, you will need to travel to a designated Miqat point (such as Masjid Aisha in Taneem) to enter the state of Ihram before beginning each subsequent Umrah. Most hotels can easily arrange a taxi for this short trip.

When should I book my Makkah hotel to get the best rate?

For peak periods like Ramadan, it is crucial to book at least four to six months in advance to secure availability at a reasonable rate. For the quieter winter months, booking two to three months ahead typically yields the best early-bird discounts and gives you the widest choice of Haram-view rooms.
