Madinah is calmer than Makkah, but staying close to Masjid an-Nabawi still makes every prayer easier — especially Fajr and the late-night prayers in Ramadan. Most five-star hotels are in the central area around the mosque, so the walk is short from almost all of them. Here are the Madinah hotels near Masjid Nabawi that our pilgrims ask for most.
Most requested hotels near Masjid an-Nabawi
All hotels below are five-star hotels within a few minutes' walk of the mosque. Open a hotel for its walking time, room views and how to book it in your Umrah package.
Central area vs. further out
The central area (Markazia) surrounds the mosque on all sides. Hotels on the north side, such as The Oberoi, Dar Al Iman InterContinental and Anwar Al Madinah Mövenpick, open onto the large courtyard and the main gates. Hotels a little further away — 5 to 10 minutes on foot — are noticeably cheaper and still easy to walk from. Budget hotels outside the central area need a taxi or a long walk, which is hard for elderly pilgrims.
Madinah hotel prices: what to expect
Madinah hotels are usually cheaper than Makkah hotels at the same distance. As a rough guide, outside Ramadan a central five-star double room is often around SAR 400–1,200 per night, a four-star hotel within ten minutes SAR 200–450, and budget hotels further out less. Ramadan, especially its last ten nights, is far more expensive. We quote the real price for your dates before you pay.
How many nights in Madinah?
A 14-day package (13 nights) usually has 7 nights in Makkah and 6 in Madinah; a 21-day package (20 nights) 11 in Makkah and 9 in Madinah. On a custom Umrah you choose the split — 3 to 5 nights in Madinah is the most common. Travel between the cities by the Haramain high-speed train (about 2 hours 15 minutes) or by private car.
