Frequently asked questions
How do I get to the Haram from M Hotel Al Dana?
Use the hotel shuttle or a taxi to cover the about 3 km. Ask reception for shuttle times on arrival. Taxis are at your own cost and are slower near prayer times.
Is about 3 km a problem in January?
It is less of a problem in January than in summer. Daytime highs are about 31°C and evenings are cool. Still, you will not be able to pop back to your room between prayers, so plan longer stays in the mosque.
Why is Madinah so much closer?
Each package pairs one Makkah and one Madinah hotel. On this length, Zowar International is about 400 m from the Prophet's Mosque, so your Madinah week is fully walkable even though Makkah needs transport.
How does this compare with the 4★ 14-night trip?
The 14-night January 4★ trip starts from £1,045 and uses Al Ebaa, about 850 m from the Haram. This 12-night trip starts from £970. If walking to the Haram matters, the 14-night option is worth the difference.
Can I perform two Umrahs from this hotel?
Yes. Six nights is enough for a second Umrah. Enter Ihram at Masjid Aisha (Taneem), which is part of the Makkah ziyarat, then travel to the Haram. Allow a full rest day between the two.
