Where to stay

Choose your hotel by the walk, not the advert

Hotels often measure to the nearest corner of a plaza. We measure to where you can actually enter, the same way for every hotel.

Every mapped hotel ranked by walking distance to the nearest main gate.

Hotels around the Prophet’s Mosque, sorted by distance to the mosque building.

The five main gates with their official numbers and the hotels closest to each.

Before you fly

Tourist eVisa, UK ETA or Umrah visa — find yours in seconds.

10 rules in force, each with its official source.

Last entry 23 March 2027 and the Hajj-season pause.

Train from the terminal in 54 minutes, plus licensed taxis.

Why UmrahFacts

Dated and sourced. Every rule shows the official source and the day we checked it.
Real entrances. Makkah distances go to the five official main gates, not to a wall with no door.
No paid rankings. We don't sell packages and nobody pays to be listed higher.
For Western passports. eVisa, the new UK ETA and the routes that matter to you.

Getting around

The Haramain train runs from inside Jeddah airport to Makkah and on to Madinah. Stations, journey times and luggage rules from the operator.
