Das Eigentum — Tharawat Al Ferdous Hotel
Tharawat Al Ferdous Hotel is a straightforward 3-star property in Makkah’s Al Aziziyah district, aimed squarely at budget-conscious pilgrims who need a clean room and reliable air conditioning a short taxi ride from the Haram. The lobby is modest and functional, with marble floors, a small seating area and a front desk that handles check-ins efficiently in multiple languages. Its USP is proximity to the Al Hijrah Road bus stop, which connects to the Haram in about 15 minutes, and it offers free wi-fi and an on-site restaurant serving basic buffet meals. Best for groups or solo travellers who prioritise value over views and don’t mind being outside the central hotel zone.
Chroniken von Makkah
Makkah’s history is anchored in the 7th-century revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad, making it Islam’s holiest city. The urban core has always centred on the Masjid al-Haram, which has been expanded massively since the 20th century, with modern towers like the Abraj Al Bait clock-face dominating the skyline. The city’s identity is now defined by year-round pilgrimage: over 15 million visitors annually, a population that swells to over 2 million during Hajj, and a built environment of hotels, shopping malls and elevated walkways designed to funnel worshippers to the mosque. Contemporary Makkah is a tightly controlled, infrastructure-heavy hub where old Ottoman-era quarters have largely been replaced by concrete and glass.

Vollständiger Makkah-Guide →Die besten Monate
January and February offer the most comfortable temperatures (18–28°C) and lower humidity for walking, plus reduced hotel rates outside major pilgrimages. November is also good, with mild weather and slightly smaller crowds than the winter peak.
Peak / Festival Surge
Ramadan (which falls in March-April 2026 for the lunar calendar) is the busiest single month, with city-wide fasting hours, night-long prayers and huge demand for iftar buffets. Hotel prices double or triple, and Madinah–Makkah buses sell out weeks in advance. The Hajj season – roughly July 14-19 in 2026 – is the absolute peak: rooms book up a year ahead, and rates can hit 10x the off-season price.
Budget Schulter Saison
October and May are the best budget shoulder months: temperatures are still manageable (28–35°C), visitor numbers are lower than at peak, and hotel rates drop by 40–60%. You avoid the worst of the heat (which peaks in June–August) and the festival crowds.
Wetter & Verpackung
July in Makkah is brutally hot, often hitting 42°C with 50% humidity that makes it feel even stickier. Pack a lightweight, long-sleeved, breathable cotton shirt and a refillable water bottle – the heat hits fast, and many public areas lack shade.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Makkah
- The new Makkah Metro line – Al Mashaaer Al Mugaddassah Metro – now runs between Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina during Hajj season, but it’s not operational for Umrah visitors; most still rely on taxis or buses from the Al Aziziyah area.
- King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah (the main entry point for Makkah) completed its new terminal in late 2025, adding 30% more capacity – expect smoother customs but longer walks between gates.
- Roadworks near the Al Hijrah Road junction continue through summer 2026 due to the new Ring Road extension; taxi rides to the Haram may take an extra 10–15 minutes during rush hours.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Tharawat Al Ferdous Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 5 to 8, facing the inner courtyard (away from the main street). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level bustle but still within the lift range (if the hotel has a 10-floor typical layout for 3-star Makkah properties). The courtyard side is quieter and gets indirect light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 to 3 facing the street — the address is on a main Makkah thoroughfare, so noise from traffic and pedestrians is constant. Also skip rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft on any floor; lifts in older 3-star hotels can be audible.
Best views
An interior-facing room on floors 6-8 gives a calm view of the courtyard or neighbouring roofscape — no direct holy-site views from this address. Some street-facing rooms might catch a distant minaret, but they are not worth the noise trade-off.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 to 8 are the quietest — enough separation from ground-floor lobby and street, but not high enough to risk generator or roof-level noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Makkah’s main roads are busy 24/7 with taxis, buses, and pilgrims. The hotel’s entrance is likely on or near a primary route. Expect call-to-prayer amplification from nearby mosques (loudspeakers, not a negative but a real noise). Avoid rooms near the service elevator or housekeeping stations on any floor.
Insider tips
Ask for a room on the courtyard side and high floor when booking — 3-star hotels in Makkah often assign rooms at check-in, so call 24 hours ahead to confirm. If you have mobility issues, request a room within 2 doors of the lift (but not adjacent). The hotel may offer a free shuttle to the Haram during peak hours — ask reception for the schedule as soon as you arrive.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top-Attraktionen in Makkah
💡 Head to the 4th floor—entry is free but the observation deck costs money. Best visited after Fajr when it's quieter. Don't miss the miniatures of the Kaaba through history.
💡 Visit between Isha and Fajr prayers for fewer crowds and cooler temperatures. The roof offers a quieter view of the Kaaba.
💡 Free entry but check times—closes early for prayers. Expect simple exhibits but a calm break from the crowds. Often overlooked.
💡 Go at sunrise or sunset for cooler conditions and better light. Carry water and wear grippy shoes—the path is rocky and unshaded.
💡 Less crowded than Jabal al-Noor. Bring a torch for the cave—it's dark and narrow. Avoid midday heat; aim for 5–7am or 6–8pm.
