How can you pay less for a hotel in Madinah?

  • Avoid the peak weeks: Ramadan and the weeks before and after Hajj are the most expensive.
  • Share a room: triple and quad rooms lower the price per person for families and groups.
  • Breakfast: a room without breakfast is often much cheaper, and there are many cafés around the mosque.
  • Check the gate: a cheap hotel near the gate you use can save more time than a better hotel on the wrong side.
