Make the Most of Your Makkah Stay

A city of profound spiritual significance

Makkah, known as Umm al-Qura or "Mother of Cities," draws millions of Muslim pilgrims annually to Islam's holiest site. The Grand Mosque surrounds the Kaaba and creates an atmosphere of intense devotion found nowhere else on earth. Beyond the spiritual core, the city has transformed dramatically, with the towering Abraj Al Bait complex and its massive clock face dominating the skyline. Traditional Hejazi architecture, characterized by intricate wooden lattice windows called Rawasheen, still appears in older districts, offering glimpses of heritage amid rapid development.

Modern infrastructure meets ancient tradition

The Haramain High Speed Railway connects Makkah to Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International Airport in under an hour. Within the city, the Makkah Bus network operates 12 routes, though most visitors stay within walking distance of the Haram. Upscale dining has evolved significantly, with establishments like Al Majlis at Raffles Makkah Palace offering refined Levantine cuisine with Kaaba views.

Beyond the city center

Day trips to Taif's cooler mountain climate and rose farms provide respite, while Jeddah's UNESCO-listed Al-Balad district and Red Sea corniche offer coastal contrast. Members can use miles to secure premium accommodations near the spiritual heart while enjoying contemporary comfort.
