Madinah Hotels Near Masjid an-Nabawi

Where to stay near Masjid an-Nabawi — premium, mid-range and value hotels with approximate walking times.

Below are well-known hotels we can arrange in Umrah packages from Pakistan. Walking times are approximate and measured to the mosque courtyard.

Tips for choosing your hotel

✓Download the Nusuk app before travelling — you need a permit to visit the Rawdah.
✓Hotels on the side closest to the gate you use most will save time at busy prayers.
✓Madinah is calmer than Makkah, so many families choose a value hotel here and a closer hotel in Makkah.
✓Women’s and men’s entrances differ; ask us which gates are closest to your hotel.
