How do you choose a hotel near Masjid Nabawi?
- Men's and women's sections: they have different entrances. Dallah Taibah, for example, is 200 m from the men's section but 160 m from the women's section. Ask the hotel which gates are closest.
- Rawdah visits: visits to the Rawdah are booked through the Nusuk app. A hotel close to the mosque makes early time slots easier.
- Room views: "Haram view" rooms cost more. Check photos of the exact room type before you pay.
- Heat: in summer, even five minutes in the sun is tiring. Older travellers should pay for the shortest walk they can afford.
