How much do hotels cost during Hajj season?

Hotel prices during Hajj represent the highest accommodation costs in Saudi Arabia. A mid-range room within 1 km of the Haram that normally costs $50 to $150 can cost $200 to $500 during Hajj. Premium hotels with Haram views exceed $1,000 to $3,000 per night.

Even budget hotels on the outer ring charge $100 to $200 per night. In Madinah, prices increase 100 to 200% above normal.

To manage costs: book through your Hajj operator for group rates. Book 6 to 12 months early. Consider Aziziyah (5 km from Haram) with shuttle services. Some pilgrims choose apartment rentals. Be cautious of unusually cheap offers from unknown platforms.
