Rooms bythe Mosque.
A booking website for pilgrims travelling to Makkah: search accommodation near the Holy Mosque by stay dates, nationality and budget, compare rooms side by side, and book straight through to checkout.
A booking site organised around one landmark
For a stay in Makkah the decisive detail is not a star rating, it is the walk to the Mosque. The whole site is arranged so that distance, dates and price are visible before a guest ever opens a room.
Distance leads the listing
Every room shows how far it is from the Mosque alongside size, bedrooms and bathrooms, so proximity is compared first, not discovered on arrival.
Nationality is a filter, not an afterthought
Guests search by nationality as well as dates and price, reflecting how accommodation for the pilgrimage is actually organised and quoted.
A booking that completes online
From a room to a confirmed stay is a booking form, a checkout and a thank-you page, so a guest reserves without a phone call or a broker.
Why does booking a room in Makkah need its own site?
A general travel site answers the wrong question. It ranks by stars and photos, when the traveller only wants to know how close the room is, whether it is free on their dates, and what it costs, in that order.
Three things had to lead: distance to the Mosque on every card, a search built for exactly the filters a pilgrim uses — dates, nationality, price — and a reservation that completes online without a phone call or a broker.
What Salmurci had to get right
For a stay in Makkah the decisive detail is not a star rating, it is the walk to the Mosque — the goal was to put that, and nothing else, first.
Distance first, everything else after
- Lead with distance. Every room shows its walk to the Mosque alongside size and price.
- Search on what a pilgrim actually uses. Dates, nationality and price, and nothing to wade through.
- Let a booking complete online. A form, a checkout and a thank-you page, no call and no broker.
- Serve more than one language. A switcher in the header for an international audience.
Why it was hard
- A general travel site ranks by stars and photos, when proximity is the only fact that matters here.
- Nationality is part of how pilgrimage accommodation is actually quoted, not a standard filter to borrow.
- A room has to be comparable side by side rather than judged one at a time over messages.
- Guests need to log back in and manage a stay themselves, not chase a broker for updates.
From a search to a confirmed stay
The path a guest walks from the landing page to a booked room, and the marketing pages that sit around it.
Search opens on the landing page
SearchCheck-in, check-out, nationality and price sit on the hero, so a guest starts a search the moment they arrive.
Rooms ranked the way a pilgrim ranks them
ListingsEach result shows distance from the Mosque, room type, size, bedrooms, bathrooms and amenities, with pagination through the full set.
The full picture of one room

A stay on the record
Thank youThe thank-you page confirms the booking is made, so the guest leaves with certainty rather than a promise.
What does a pilgrim check before booking?
One room, one screen — every real decision point sits on it: the type, the distance, the photos, the price and the dates that make it available.
Junior Suite, Apartment — the room type is stated up front, not buried in a gallery.
200m from Mosque sits right beside the title — the one fact that decides a Makkah booking.
A photo gallery with thumbnails lets a guest judge the space before reserving.
The nightly rate is shown plainly against the dates being searched.
Dates carry straight through from the search into the room's own booking panel.
Adults are set here before the booking moves on to checkout.
The look, and why
A warm sand-gold sits over a deep travel-blue backdrop, evoking the Haram at dusk without ever using imagery that isn't the guest's own booking journey.
