Al Marwa Rayhaan by Rotana is a 5-star upscale hotel in Abraj Al Bait, about 370 m in a straight line from Masjid al-Haram. The short distance makes walking to prayers practical for most guests. Guests must be Muslim to enter Makkah.
Al Marwa Rayhaan by Rotana is a five-star hotel in the Abraj Al Bait complex in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, about 370 m in a straight line from Masjid al-Haram. Abraj Al Bait, best known for the Makkah Royal Clock Tower, is a cluster of towers and a large shopping podium directly beside the Haram's southern approaches. The hotel belongs to Rotana's Rayhaan line, a brand focused on the Muslim traveller, and the location means most guests reach the mosque on foot within minutes.
Normal-week rates are typically SAR 562-1,688 (about $150-450) per room per night, and Ramadan and Hajj prices are far higher. The Abraj Al Bait complex is one of the most sought-after addresses in the city, so peak-season bookings fill early.
Room types typically include double or twin rooms, family rooms and suites. All rooms are air-conditioned and the tower is served by a bank of lifts. Larger rooms and suites are the usual choice for families and groups, and guests should confirm bed layouts, floors and any Haram-facing options when booking.
Dining is by on-site restaurants, and the shopping mall and food court in the Abraj Al Bait podium put a wide choice of cafes and restaurants within the same complex. Breakfast and suhoor timing are the main considerations for pilgrims. Visitors should confirm meal hours and formats at booking, particularly during Ramadan.
The service character is that of a regional upscale hotel brand serving pilgrims, with staffed reception and concierge service to help with luggage, transport and questions about nearby prayer facilities. It suits families, couples and groups travelling for Umrah. As across Saudi Arabia, alcohol is not served and Makkah has no nightlife.
Guests must be Muslim to enter Makkah. Visitors should verify current facilities, star class and cancellation terms directly with the hotel before travel.
