Accommodation in Makkah by zone as per the Ministry of Hajj

To enable pilgrims to compare different accommodations and consider their proximity to Al-Masjid Al-Haram and Sacred Mashair sites, Makkah has been subdivided into distinct zones, each with unique characteristics to cater to different pilgrims’ preferences. 

This zone is located in very close proximity to Al-Masjid Al-Haram, usually overlooking its yards, offering pilgrims the ease of access within walking distance. 

This zone encompasses the area surrounding Zone A, providing proximity to Al-Masjid Al-Haram but at a slightly greater distance compared to Zone A. While the distance to Al-Masjid Al-Haram is still walkable, certain accommodations also offer pilgrims shuttle services to Al-Masjid Al-Haram during prayer times for added convenience. 

This zone encompasses the largest area of Makkah, though it is not within walking distance from Al-Masjid Al-Haram or the Sacred Mashair sites. However, it offers a variety of accommodations, some of which provide shuttle services to Al-Masjid Al-Haram during prayer times. 

This zone is located in close proximity to the Sacred Mashair sites, providing pilgrims with ease of access to their accommodations during their stay in Mina.
