Dar Al Hijra Intercontinental, Madinah, Saudi Arabia

5:30 pm Asia, Hotels (Hotels and Resorts), Leisure

We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights, at the end of May 2008. We have stayed in this hotel last year, in March 2007 for one night, we liked it and therefore decided to stay again.

The hotel is very near to the Al-Masjid Al Nabawi (or Prophet’s Mosque). Only 3-4 minutes on foot. The location of the hotel is not only good for accessing the Holy Mosque, but also for arriving the hotel safely if you are driving. Those who are coming from the other cities will find the hotel on King Fahad Road junction with King Faisal Bin Abdul Aziz road. The hotel is exactly to the North of the Mosque. All the shopping centres are nearby. Uhud Mountain is very near, 5 minutes by car. It is also visible from the suites of the hotel.

The staff of the hotel is very helpful. Hotel is clean. A very nice open buffet breakfast is served in the restaurant. Variety of foods is more than satisfactory. Rooms are spacious. Only problem with the rooms are the windows. All windows are behind a kind of steel grid; therefore it disturbs the scenery. All the shopping centres are nearby, mosques are nearby, and the quality is what you are expecting from an Intercontinental Hotel.

As in most of the other hotels in the city, don’t expect a lot for the children.

The price is very reasonable, compared to the other hotels in the area. Highly suggested for families and those performing religious tourism.

For those looking forward to the exact location of the hotel, here are the coordinates that you can easily locate, for example, through Google Earth: 24°28′25.39″ 39°36′38.51″
