Photos of Burj Al Mukhtara Hotel
Photos supplied by the hotel. Room sizes vary within a category, so we confirm the exact room before you pay.
Location is its strongest point, at 7.4 out of 10, followed by price at 6.3. Cleanliness sits at 6.0 and comfort at 6.1. If you want the mosque within a fifteen minute walk and a low nightly rate, this is the trade: a short walk in, plainer rooms. We prefer to say that now rather than after you have paid.
Who Burj Al Mukhtara Hotel suits
Families and small groups
Most rooms here are built for sharing. The quadruple and family categories sleep four or five in single beds, which suits a family or a group of friends on one bill.
Pilgrims watching the price
An economy rate under a kilometre from the mosque is the reason people choose this building. Expect a plain room and put the saving towards the rest of the trip.
Short stays between cities
One or two nights before or after Makkah is the common pattern. Send us your flight time and we will ask the hotel to hold the room for an early arrival.

Getting from Burj Al Mukhtara Hotel to Masjid an-Nabawi

By car, the listing puts the Old Bazaar 3 km away, Jannat al-Baqi 3.4 km, Quba Mosque 4.2 km and Al Noor Mall 5 km. A taxi for the Quba and Baqi visits is cheap, and we can arrange a driver who waits for you.
Practical tips for Umrah stays
Walk the route once in daylight
Do the walk to the mosque after arrival so you know the turns. It makes the first Fajr much less stressful.
Ask which floor your room is on
If stairs are a problem, ask for a lower floor and check the lift is working before you accept a room higher up.
Report room issues the same day
Guest scores for cleanliness here sit around 6 out of 10. If something is not right, tell reception straight away and tell us, so we can follow it up.
