We stayed in Voco for a week during the ramadaan 2024 . Very nice experience. Very neat and very clean . The shopping mall was excellent for day to day necessities.and for qauility products . 7 km from haraam. The bus shuttle service was excellent as with no delays or issues. We from Cape Town South Africa. Shukran for a pleasant stay ..
Very nice but i still preferred those hotel which are walking distance from the al haram mosque... But i like or love most of ur videos specially the one you featured all restaurants around haram... 👍👍
Thank you for watching. May Allah accept your Hajj insha’Allah and safe travels. Uber is cheaper than in the Uk. A 20 minute journey costs roughly £7. There’s a different app called Careem which is a bit cheaper than Uber and has more drivers. I’m going to be making a video on Saudi taxis so make sure you subscribe so you can see that 😀
@@speakup2888 not with Uber or Careem, as their prices are fixed. You can pay by via the app directly or with Careem you can choose to pay cash as an option. I don’t think it’s a good idea to bargain with cash if the price has already been decided by Careem. You can bargain with the street taxis(the green taxis), generally price is by meter but they often quote the price before driving you so you can always haggle them down if you prefer.
What's the shuttle bus like? How long do you have to wait? And is the distant to makkah and drop off point close or far? I'm looking to book between voco or Novotel
Salaam, there are frequent buses so you will be waiting 10-15 mins only. The video below shows the full journey from the hotel to masjid Al haram so this is the exact route: ruclips.net/video/W7mW0p4SHHk/видео.htmlsi=hJWIH5iOk0TFUQm6
If you want a cheaper option, there is a bus which takes you to Makkah Bus Station which costs 25 SAR per person. You can get it directly from the terminal.
If from Jeddah, you could use a taxi service Careem. Sign up to the app and book when you land. Cost for a big car (around 6 people) will be approximately 220 SAR to get to your hotel in Makkah.
هو صحيح نزل فخم لكن بعيد علي الحرم و يكون مفعول البعد واضحا في ايام الحج حيث تمنع السلطات جولان السيارات و الحافلات فيضطر الحاج للمشي 1800م و في موسم حج 1445ه اضطر كبار السن من الحجيج تونس لصلاة في مصلي النزل

That’s great to hear! I’m glad you had a great time!
Did you really mean to write 7 km from the Haram? Seems like a typo.

Do I need to bargain with the uber/careem drivers?

Many many thanks. I appreciate your comment very much!
Is it cheaper to book your H1 Van or is it better to book a big taxi before you get to the airport.
Which airport?
Is the shuttle service free?
Will be booking this hotel, how did you book the hotel
I used booking.com but you could also go directly to their website
Salaam brother
We are 4 people! How much it cost per night? Thanks
When I went in March, it was around £140 per night for 2 people including breakfast.
What is the rate for this queen size bedroom?
This room cost me approximately £140 per night for two adults and one baby. Not including food.
There are more hotels that cost the same and are at walking distance from Al Haram.

There is a gym, unfortunately it was closed during my stay as it was being renovated. It's probably open now though.
