Approximate prices, not a quotation. They move with the season, with what is available on your dates, and with the specific hotel or operator. Ramadan and the school holidays are the biggest swings. Ask us and we will price your actual dates. Ramadan and the school holidays run 40–90% above these figures, and hotel rates within ten minutes of the Haram move faster than anything else in the trip. Any currency conversion on top is approximate too.
Where the money matters
What to spend on, and what to stop worrying about
Two lists, from watching where people regret their choices.
Worth paying for
Hotel within 10 minutes of the Haram
You will make that walk five times a day. Ten minutes each way is over an hour and a half daily.
A private transfer for the first arrival
Landing at 2am after a long flight is the wrong moment to negotiate with a taxi.
Rehydration salts and good sandals
Under SAR 100 and they protect the entire trip.
Usually skippable
Haram-view rooms
Roughly double the rate for a view you will spend little time in, you will be inside the mosque.
Full board
There is excellent, cheap food within five minutes of every hotel in both cities.
Pre-paid ziyarat in Makkah
A driver for half a day costs less than a per-head coach tour and goes where you want.
