About us

Umrah Walk (قُرب الحرم) is an independent guide that helps Umrah and Hajj pilgrims choose where to stay in Makkah and Madinah by the real walking distance to the Haram.

Why we built it

Booking sites call hotels "near the Haram" that are a twenty-minute walk away. We wanted one clear number for every hotel: how many minutes you walk from the hotel door to the nearest edge of the mosque, so older pilgrims, families and short-stay visitors can choose with confidence.

What we offer

• 1,000+ hotels in Makkah and Madinah ranked by walking minutes.
• A map of the districts around both mosques with the number of hotels and typical walk in each.
• Prayer times, a simple sourced guide to Umrah and Hajj, and airport transfer options.

How we work

We use open data and checkable calculations, explained in detail in our editorial policy and methodology.

How we earn

The site is free. We are not a travel agency and don't sell bookings ourselves. When you book through our links with our partners we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and commissions never change the order of hotels. Details in our affiliate disclosure.
