Al Masar Azizia Hotel

Al Masar Azizia Hotel sits on the main street of South Aziziyah, about 4.5 km from Masjid al-Haram. The hotel runs a free shuttle that takes guests to the Haram via the Shaab Amer station.

Rooms come as doubles, triples and quads, with the triple and quad rooms set up with extra beds, which works well for families and small Umrah groups. Every room has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a refrigerator and a tea and coffee maker, along with a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and free toiletries.

Everyday needs are covered by a 24-hour front desk, an elevator, room service, free WiFi and parking, and the hotel offers wheelchair access and accepts credit cards. The Haram is not within walking distance from here, so it is worth asking about the shuttle timetable when you arrive to plan your trips to prayers.
