Diyar Taiba Hotel is a budget hotel on Abi Saeed Al Khudary Street in the Bani Khidrah area of Markazia, central Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It is about 450 m in a straight line from Masjid an-Nabawi, within roughly a 10-minute walk, which makes it one of the closer budget options. Most guests walk to prayers, and the route is busiest around the five daily prayers, when extra time is needed.
Bani Khidrah is a historic pocket of the central district, with a mix of older streets, small shops and pilgrim lodging close to the mosque. The hotel is a plain, functional property rather than a design-led one, and detailed information on its architecture or history is limited. Its appeal is proximity combined with a low price.
Rooms are air-conditioned and lift-served, with double or twin rooms, family rooms and suites typical of the category; the availability of specific types should be confirmed at booking. Breakfast is listed as something to confirm at booking, so guests should not assume it is included. Many inexpensive restaurants, bakeries and cafes operate within walking distance in the surrounding streets. No spa, pool or gym is listed.
Service character is basic and practical, suited to budget-conscious pilgrims, solo travellers and families who plan to spend most of the day at the mosque. Typical rates run from roughly SAR 190 to 490 (about $50-130) per room per night in October 2026 listings, with Ramadan, Hajj and school-holiday prices far higher. Hotel stays are open to all visitors with a valid visa, while the mosque precinct is restricted to Muslims.
