Frequently asked questions
How far is Jabal Omar Marriott from the Haram?
Jabal Omar Marriott is about 600 m from the Haram, a short walk. Allow extra time on Fridays and at Maghrib, when the paths into the mosque are busiest.
Is 12 nights at 5★ good value in January?
Yes, compared with December. In January this trip starts from £1,270 per person, quad, with flights, against £1,590 for the same length in December.

You stay at Shaza Regency Plaza, about 600 m from the Prophet's Mosque, for six nights. Breakfast and dinner are included, and the hotel is confirmed in writing on your quote.
Can I prepare for Ramadan on this trip?

Can we book a double room?
Yes. The from-price is for four sharing, and a double room costs more. Ask us for a written quote with your dates and room type.
