Best hotel in Mecca! Excellent service from the beginning to the end. I am so happy with this hotel. Friendly staff & very helpful. Cleaners are excellent with room cleaning. Food was amazing alhamdullilah. 150 riyals per person for the buffet for sahur/iftar. Honestly with the AMOUNT of options given it was so worth it. Thank you Sheraton Hotel and all the lovely staff ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ you made our stay so pleasant and we could do our Umrah stress free. I will recommend this hotel to all my friends and family that want to come for Umrah/Haj. Thank you!!!

This was amazing. We had a great time. The room was clean and the staff were nice. It's also not far from the Haram. Considering this is a 4-star hotel, it feels like it should be 5 stars. Although we met some people in the hotel who had a bit of attitude, overall it didn’t change the rating. The food was great. There was a lot of food and desserts for suhoor (in Ramadan). I also can’t believe it’s a hotel — it’s big and very nice. The bed was comfortable and the couch was comfortable too. The hotel also has a kids' play area, and there are services for men and women, including massage, hair, and nail services, which was very nice.

It was our first umrah & we chose the best place for it ! Location is very close to haram. Just few minutes walking distance. We had amazing booking with Hossam from the reception and honestly it was beautiful stay and room view to haram. I am beyond grateful also to Darwesha the captain of the restaurant as for vegetarian she also made sure we had everything we need. The food was delicious and I highly recommend this place for your stay. The rooms were clean everyone helpful. Definitely will be back

I had a very pleasant stay at Sheraton Makkah Jabal Al Kaaba Hotel and would gladly recommend this hotel to other travellers visiting Makkah. Although the hotel is located on a slightly hilly area, I did not find this to be an issue at all. In my opinion, the proximity to Masjid Al Haram is excellent with an approximately 5–10 minute walk depending on pace. I also noticed that there is a covered bridge connecting the hotel area to Masjid Al Haram. During my stay, the bridge was temporarily closed, possibly due to ongoing works around Masjid Al Haram, but once fully operational, it will certainly make access even more convenient. The hotel has around 10 elevators which is very efficient during peak times before prayer hours when many guests are heading to Masjid Al Haram simultaneously. This made moving in and out of the hotel smooth and well-managed. The service quality was excellent throughout my stay. The staff were professional, attentive, and genuinely helpful. A particularly impressive gesture was receiving an international follow-up phone call from a hotel staff member today 21 December 2025, checking on my condition and asking about my stay experience. Unfortunately, I did not catch her name clearly, but I truly appreciated the effort to personally follow up with a guest after check-out. This reflects a genuine commitment to guest satisfaction and service excellence.

My mother and I stayed at the Sheraton Makkah Jabal Al Kaaba for 15 days, and our experience was outstanding in every respect. The service, hospitality, and overall comfort exceeded our expectations. The concierge, Mr. Hamza, consistently provided exceptional assistance and thoughtful recommendations throughout our stay. We also deeply appreciated the housekeeping team, particularly Mr. Ahmed, who ensured our room was always impeccably maintained and that our needs were promptly attended to. The reception staff demonstrated excellent professionalism and ensured a smooth and welcoming experience from check-in to departure. The hotel’s location is highly convenient—approximately a 7-minute walk to the Haram. Please note that the route includes a slight uphill path, but it remains manageable and adds to the overall accessibility of the property. Overall, our stay was truly memorable, and we are grateful for the high level of service provided. We look forward to returning in the future and highly recommend this hotel.

I would like to sincerely thank you and your entire team for the warm welcome and the excellent service during our stay. Everything, from the comfort of the room to the quality of the facilities, was beyond expectations. Your professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made my experience truly memorable. Please extend my gratitude to each member of your staff mainly M.Saoud and M. Yasser at the reception. I look forward to returning soon and will gladly recommend your hotel to family and friends. With appreciation Mr and Mrs FEKI

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sheraton Makkah Jabal Al Kaaba, and I must say, everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease. The staff is incredibly professional and courteous, and the level of cleanliness and comfort throughout the hotel is outstanding. There was truly nothing I lacked during my stay — the room was spacious and well-equipped, the housekeeping was impeccable, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and uplifting, especially considering the proximity to the Holy Mosque. A very special thank you goes to Chef Najat, the Moroccan chef whose warmth and culinary talent left a lasting impression. Her dishes were not only delicious but prepared with such love and authenticity that it felt like a taste of home. She went above and beyond to make sure guests were satisfied and happy, and her personal touch truly elevated my dining experience. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Makkah. Whether for Umrah or Hajj, Sheraton Jabal Al Kaaba is a place where comfort, hospitality, and excellence come together beautifully.

Very good choice for Hajj & Umrah trips as location of this hotel is close to Haram and even in future when third Saudi expansion finishes , this hotel will be on one of new entrances to Haram. Very helpful & supportive staff from various departments. Very good restaurants & food. Very good rooms and housekeeping. I would like to thank everyone of staff and especially Daloar Hosen from housekeeping as I interacted with him on daily basis for keeping our room clean & tidy.

We booked this hotel for me and family (12 of us). Its a 5min walk to the haraam. The service was excellent and the rooms were super clean, they would clean it every day or whenever you ask them to. They are professional and kind. Always holding the doors and greeting you. They even open lifts for you! I would recommend this hotel with my eyes closed. Thank you so much, I would definitely book again in the future in sha Allah ☺️

Outstanding Service at the Chocolate Lounge!! I had a wonderful experience at the Chocolate Lounge in the Sheraton Makkah Jabal Al Kaaba Hotel, thanks to Abdul Majeed. His customer service was exceptional. He went above and beyond to help us arrange our transportation from Makkah to Marina, making everything seamless and stress-free. The food and drinks were equally impressive! The tea and coffee were fantastic, and the croissants and pastries were a true delight. If you’re in Makkah, don’t miss out on this gem! Highly recommended for both the service and the delicious treats!

I stayed here for 16 days and the service is beyond 5 star. Everything from the reception, to housekeeping, the team at the Lounge on floor 12 ( Nashwa, Amr and team) went over and beyond with outstanding service. I felt more than at home. A special thanks to Loujain and the duty manager I spoke to for accommodating my stay and doing everything they could to make it worth while. It is close to the haram( 5-10 min). I will definitely recommend this hotel and would love to come back, Insha'Allah. جزاكم الله خيرا على كل شيء

Here are some pros and cons of the Sheraton Makkah: Pros: Convenient location Spacious rooms Stunning views of the Grand Mosque Excellent service Well-maintained facilities Cons: Can be crowded during peak seasons Prices can be high Some rooms can be noisy Overall, the Sheraton Makkah is a great choice for travelers who are looking for a luxurious and convenient hotel in Mecca. The hotel is well-located, has spacious rooms with stunning views, and offers excellent service. However, it can be crowded during peak seasons and prices can be high. Here are some tips for staying at the Sheraton Makkah: Book your stay in advance: The hotel is very popular, so it is best to book your stay in advance, especially if you are traveling during peak seasons. Request a room with a view: The rooms with views of the Grand Mosque are in high demand, so it is best to request one when you book your stay.

Everything was perfect and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived at the property, the attentive staff greeted me with warm, friendly smiles. Big thanks to all of them especially: Rageh Abdullah, Security Supervisor, Mehdi Al Hudhali and all the wonderful restaurant staff. The hotel's proximity to the Haram made its location really excellent for me. In addition, the presence of a bridge connecting the hotel to the new expansion of the campus increased the factor of convenience and ease of access.

Service in this hotel was great. The staff at the reception, the cleaning staff, and the breakfast staff were all incredibly friendly. The room was great. Everything was always cleaned, fully stocked. Breakfast was great. Location was great. Nothing negative. Due to construction, the bridge that leads directly to the masjid is closed. It would be unfair to fault the hotel for this, but the detour is a little lengthy and should be noted.

I will start with the hotel staff. They are the most welcoming I have ever experienced in my history of traveling. They are always keen to help, always smile and are always ready to step an extra mile. The location of the hotel is in a walking distance to the Haram. You need to make sure to leave a bit early because the area is super crowded. The breakfast is decent but I would love to see more healthy choices. The rooms are super clean and as expected from Sheraton.

Modern and comfortable hotel with plenty of elevators so you don't have to wait long even during busy periods. Breakfast was good. We had breakfast at the back up restaurant on 2 out of 3 days when the main one was full. Both were almost the same except filter coffee was a bit slow to be refilled. Special thanks to our 11th floor housekeeper Mr Saju who was kind and helpful. The connecting bridge was not operational. Walking back to the hotel requires negotiating a steep path at the end.
Hotel was great. Room was adequately cleaned. Bed was comfortable. I saw sofas having marks on it. Breakfast was well served

Beautiful hotel with lovely rooms. The room keepers are lovely and very accommodating. The staff at the restaurant are so lovely. However, the management is quite poor. One of our bags were torn when checking in and the management didn't seem to give concern to it, he was constantly going back and forth with different employees. Very disappointed.

Good hotel. ~5 minute walk from haram. Good quality rooms. The bad: Less than ideal experience. As an ambassador, they gave me a good upgrade, but not before telling me 7 times about the sacrifices they had to make to make it happen Water pressure in the bathroom shower was weak Elevator system is really suboptimal, expect to wait a lot in peak times They take ~60 minutes to respond to Marriott app messages Finally, they couldn't properly assist in a simple task of helping me find a taxi to go to the airport. Good overall but will try Marriott Jabal Omar next time
Al Humdulillah my stay here was very pleasant. Their customer service was good. They gave us an upgrade. Will recommend others to stay in this hotel.
Best food in town chef prepared nice food every day. Clean room. House keeping staff very efficient and friendly.

For 4 days, I bring foods for iftar and stayed the whole night with my family who came here to do umrah this week. I appreciated the attendants/staff esp. The bangladesh brothers, who are very helpful, they are cleaning up the rooms and changing the bedsheets, towels etc. everyday, they comply in everything you ask for. The smell of the hallway in the 7th floor is very good. The location is just straight ahead to gate 328 and 329. Everything you want is just near like laundry, resto, coffeshops etc. 👍👍👍

It's a decent hotel and the main advantage is its proximity to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) mosque. The quadruple room was too small to host four beds and we could barely move in the room with our bags located in every corner. The bathroom was clean and they provided shampoo, shower jell etc. but you have to bring your own towels. We went in the winter and so it was good that the windows open a bit to renew the air in the room, especially since the AC didn't work properly. The four of us didn't know each other and the reception insisted on giving us one key only which wasn't very convenient. P.S. there were signs (e.g. hair) that they didn't change the bedsheets after the previous guests or at least didn't wash them properly

🌟 Amazing Stay & Outstanding Staff! 🌟 I recently stayed at Zowar International Hotel in Medina, and overall it was a very positive experience — mainly because of the exceptional team at the front office and throughout the hotel. From the moment I arrived, the reception staff made me feel welcome and well-taken care of. In particular, Abdel Aziz at reception went above and beyond with professionalism, patience, and a friendly approach that really set the tone for my stay. His attention to detail and quick responses made check-in smooth and stress-free. I also want to commend Hanan — her warm and courteous service was truly remarkable. She consistently greeted guests with genuine hospitality and was always ready to help with whatever we needed and with a smile that made a big difference. Another staff member who deserves special recognition is the bellman, Abdel Aleem. Every time I arrived or left the hotel, he was there to assist with luggage and offer helpful local tips. His cheerful attitude and willingness to serve made me feel truly valued as a guest. Aside from the excellent service, the hotel’s location close to the Prophet’s Mosque was very convenient for prayers, and the rooms were comfortable enough for rest after long days. While some aspects of the property could be improved, the hospitality and kindness of the staff — especially Abdel Aziz, Hanan, and Abdel Aleem — really made the stay memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for warm hospitality and great service near Al-Haram! 🌙🙏

Reception is shockingly bad! They dont want your business, they are so lazy it took ages for one of them to book us in. They appear to not know what they are doing. Rooms were adequate, quality of the furnishings is below standard, room service where the only good aspect of this place. Good luck phoning reception and getting them to do anything. The tv in the room was not working properly fuzzy picture. Hairdryer was faulty, there is no iron to help with laundry. Fridge was temperamental, Mattresses are very firm and the bed frames are very high up. Yes you can place your bags underneath but we had to jump up onto the beds. The windows dont shut fully so can hear road noise during the night, one of the hinge brackets fell off in my hand! The beds are also very small single beds. Not ideal for adults. The shower doesnt work properly, blocked pipes, loose fittings, no door for the shower so whole room gets wet. No hooks in the bathroom to hang your clothes. Hanging bulbs with bare wires, Breakfast buffet is poor, food selection is below par, only one egg for omelette, as they were short on eggs at the time. I find it disgusting that the waiting staff will immediately throw food waste into a bag right next to where you are eating. Put me off my food. You are provided with paper cups for tea and coffee. Overall experience is more like a 2 star hotel even though it says 3 stars on the wall outside this place.

I had a pleasant stay at Zawar International Hotel. Everything was good overall the room was comfortable, the bathroom was clean, and the staff were polite and helpful. The hotel is also conveniently located, only a 5 minute walk from Masjid Nabawi. The only downside was that the shower water was cold, which was a bit inconvenient. Aside from that, it was a good experience and the hotel met my expectations.

Location is great, walking distance 5minutes to the Masjid Al Nabawi. There are many shops nearby, the receptionist are friendly and helpful, especially the lady in the morning. The room service i didnt get any, no change of towels, neither cleaning or making bed, neither topping up tea and coffee. There are no phones in the room. The washroom was smelling and the shower room get overflow because the shower room was clogged. There must be a person who overlooks these services. Most of the discomfort happened due to other guests, so its not a fault of a hotel.

I just returned from Zowar and my stay was absolutely ablysmal. The management in particular Mr Turki was one ignorant rude human being, may God bring him down to reality Ameen. I will try upload a picture of him. The hotel is falling to pieces. AC does not work. The wait for lifts is ridiculous. The worst hotel in Madinah for sure. Its indeed a minus 5 star accommodation. Avoid at all costs.

Asalamoalaikum Its 12th of July 2025 that i with my family consisting of my better half and my two sons. First experience on entry into the room was not bad as i had not hight hopes due to some reviews but overall I think it was their experience as mine was much better. The service was good and they made the room when ever we asked them to. The distance from haram was not more that 4min walk. One can easily reach the mosque afyer azan and also offer his nafals. Near the female entry gates which was the main reason to be on this side. Over all i would recomend this hotel.

The location is highly convenient—just a short walk to the Haram, with easy access to restaurants and markets nearby, which made the stay more practical. Unfortunately, the room conditions left much to be desired. There was a constant unpleasant odor, the washroom was poorly maintained, and the room felt small and overcrowded. Additionally, privacy was an issue, as noise from neighboring rooms was clearly audible. While the location is definitely a strong point, the hotel needs to improve its room standards to offer a more comfortable and private experience.

This establishment is a highly-rated four-star hotel, offering excellent value. The rooms feature well-maintained beds and comprehensive amenities, including shampoo, body wash, body lotion, hand wash, and four dry towels. A tea preparation area is provided, although cups were not available. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with ample room for movement and prayer. Complimentary coffee, tea, and pastries/doughnuts are available for purchase on the ground floor. Pizza is also offered, though the quality and pricing are currently unconfirmed. Prayer mats, Qurans, and secure lockers are provided for guests' convenience.

I took one star off because the fan in the bathroom doesn’t work! Another star off because the room was not prepared with bath towels as expected of hotels. The third star removed because the door handle is slightly broken which made it harder to enter with the provided card. Other than that everything was good. It’s close enough to the mosque. We stayed at room 1304

Decent experience. Limited parking, if there is a rush then you will not get a permit until someone else leaves. Rooms were decent and clean enough. Good bathrooms with sufficient facilities like hairdryer and toiletries. I wish there were more plugpoints, one for each bed, but we managed. Reception and security were approachable and helpful. Housekeeping were also helpful for simple requests. Kettle was not working, so it was replaced. Wife found stains on the bed but we still managed to sleep. Overall decent experience.

Rooms were too small to for 4 beds. Not enough room to hop on/off the bed The bed mattress were good and firm. Service was absolutely disgraceful. We were told, since we didn't make booking online so we wouldn't get full service. Even to get toilet papers, tissues and towels etc we had to go and ask them to replenish. Soap was never refilled. So much so, we stopped asking them and bought our own stuff from shops. Location was good. 5min walk to Haram. Will never book this hotel, not even online.

The only issue I had with this place was the room service—whenever we called, no one answered. Our booking included a breakfast buffet, which was average, but Alhamdulillah, it was sufficient. The reception appeared short-staffed during peak hours, and the team seemed a bit overworked. However, we had the pleasure of dealing with Munar Al-Sharif, a lovely receptionist who was an absolute delight. She always greeted us with a warm smile and positive energy—7 stars for her service!

The hotel was good, they have parking , if you add breakfast then nice buffet, 3 to 4min walkin from Gate 329, only the thing I don't like is rooms and bathrooms and very tiny... I noticed that they did modification after building structure that they make partition and close the the door between 2 rooms just to increase rooms and guest capacity... Backside they have McDonald's and near by some fast food. So overall it's fine to stay near Haram.

Our stay was an absolute disaster from the moment we arrived. We endured a staggering two-hour wait for our rooms, which was excruciating with restless kids in tow. To make matters worse, the reception staff were consistently rude and unhelpful. As a family, we had booked three separate rooms, but instead, they crammed two families into one room while relegating our other family members to the smallest, most inadequate room they had available. The next day, after much hassle, we finally got the three rooms we had originally booked, but the experience had already soured our entire stay. The rooms were disgustingly dirty, covered in layers of dust. The bathrooms were a complete mess, and the foul smell emanating from them was unbearable. This hotel couldn't even dream of calling itself a 4-star establishment; it's honestly the worst experience I've ever had. The service was consistently appalling, and to top it all off, the entire place was disgustingly dirty. It was a truly awful experience that I would never wish on anyone. Despite its misleading 4-star rating online, upon arrival, we were informed that it's actually a 1-star establishment! The information provided online is completely inaccurate, and it's clear that many other guests have been similarly misled and have complained about this bait-and-switch tactic.

Stayed in this hotel for 2 days just before hajj season , the hotel over all is good for the price we paid . the receptionist named Miss Maha has been very kind to us , she knows her responsibilities and has a quick response. She let us do a very quick check- in . Really appreciate her work .

Normally some tolerance is in order for hotels, but in this case, it is absolutely the worst possible experience possible. To begin with, the room was disgusting. There was peeling paint, cutlery behind the beds and the bathroom was in an utter state - the mirror was taped to the wall. Secondly, we checked in to find that there were no towels in the room, when we alerted the reception, they told us to wait 5 minutes - no response. We went again - same answer, wait 5 minutes. 3 hours later, after arguing with the receptionist, they gave us towels. After a long journey there, this was unacceptable. Thirdly, the bathroom drain was blocked, which meant we couldn't take a shower even if we liked. The reception said that they didn't have a plumber present to fix it, and told us to wait our turn for room service the next day - which would be after 10. The reception staff barely spoke English and found our problems very amusing, before running to the service floor in the lift. There is no accountability whatsoever, and this level of service is disgusting. The Ministry of Tourism should SHUT DOWN this establishment until they can maintain bare minimums of standards. What's even worse is, we weren't the only ones with issues. When we came to the reception, the receptionist simply noted our room number on a list of 5/6 other rooms, and there were various other people queuing to complain. The hotel will probably just respond with a generic response like "send a email to XYZ" or will implement improvements in the future. This is totally unacceptable.

I can’t even begin to describe how terrible this hotel is. I arrived at this hotel in the evening after a long bus ride and as soon as we checked into our rooms, there were a bunch of problems, the walls were absolutely disgusting as they were random marks all over them, also, the smell of the room was absolutely horrible and I was mortified by the hygiene within my room as everything including the floor was dirty. The bathroom was below the basic standards as the bathtub was blocked and water would not go through and there was no towels available apparently also, the curtains of the shower appeared to have blood stains on them as well as cause tons of water to leak out and flood the bathroom. We ended up complaining to the receptionist however he completely ignored us and proceeded to laugh in our face. One of the cleaners proceeded to insult one of my family members which really infuriated me. I highly recommend that the ministry of Hajj and Umrah investigate this hotel immediately as they are unable to provide the most basic care to their clients as well as charge them for what they have done

All the pillow cases either have hair or blood on them. The bedsheets are dirty. There's a kettle in the room but no tea/coffee condiments as you have to book this separately (never heard of this in any place I have stayed previously). Rooms will only be cleaned if you personally ask someone. Smoking in the hallways despite being a no smoking area yet no one says anything to the guests. The rooms and all the facilities in the room just look disgusting. Aside from the fact that the hotel is less than 5 minutes from the Mosque, I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Located near masjid al nabawi, but the service is really bad. I’m here during ramadan, and I had to keep asking for towels and toilet roll because they didn’t have any in my room when I checked in. Reception kept promising to send towels after 10-20 minutes, but everytime I asked they said no sorry. Finally a cleaner went and got it for me, thank you very much! Two starts because of the location, but this hotel should only be your last resort in Madinah.

Staff were friendly and the room was decent for the price but the bathroom was very poor and unhygienic it had blood stains in the toilet and the towels provided had a blood stain also. Aswell as this there was hair in the bath tub and bugs everywhere.

AVOID THIS HOTEL AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Do not ruin your experience in Madinah by booking yourself in here. If any travel agent mentions the name of this hotel tell them to change the hotel there are hundreds in this area! Firstly the damp smell is horrendous. The bathroom is covered in mould I had to hold it in till late evening when I couldn’t hold it in anymore. The sink, floor, tub is covered in mould, the wooden door is so damp it smells rotten. The bed had a stain on which was horrific. The windows let cold air through which I feel like it played a part in my husband falling ill even more. We had to shove the gap with duvets and cloth to stop the cold air coming through (as the time we were in Madinah it was freezing/raining/thundering). My parents room had a leak and instead of shifting them to another room firstly they said ‘these things happen’ and when my mum put her foot down they eventually got someone to have a look at it. Turns out the room needed a new boiler which they spent a few hours fixing while my mum sat in the corner of the room. Breakfast is mediocre however for some odd reason they won’t let us have breakfast here now and are asking us to go to the next door hotel to have our breakfast. The next door hotel only serve cold meat, bread tea hardly anything else that’s actually edible. Luckily McDonald’s is behind the hotel so we had them to rely on. We were finally shifted to another room which was slightly better however the cold atmosphere around the staff is making us feel very uncomfortable. Other then some of the Bengali staff who are friendly and greet you when they see you, the reception staff are shockingly rude. You would think they’ve given us free shelter in their hotel when infact we paid ALOT of money for such a rubbish hotel. Good luck if there’s a group of you because they only give you one key to share between you all. Do not fall for the pictures on google, I wish I had took pictures but I haven’t. Avoid avoid avoid.
Hygiene is bad, the food was segregate by nationality and the food quality is inedible sometimes. Room conditions is bad that u need to tidy up yourself.
The hotel is near Haram walkable distance of just 800 meters Nice and small room with a little high price..

Incredible journey to Al Aqsa. Numayar brother made the journey easy and accommodated me from my initial enquiry, making the whole experience from initial call to flying out extremely straight forward. I even shared a room with him! Fantastic direct flights, great accommodation and location. I have wanted to see Al Aqsa my whole life, Allhumdulilah this trip was a dream come true. Great itinerary and guides, changed plans when needed we were lucky enough to experience West Bank normal life. Don't hesitate to book, Numayar will look after you guaranteed.

We travelled to Palestine with Zaarvel during Easter…. I cannot fault the experience! Alhumdulillah it was not our first time so we decided to spend more time in the haram and Skip some of the ziyaarah’s, the brother was so flexible and accommodating…. Always at hand if ever needed him for anything! Before we left i found his vids on the little things like plugs amd sockets and money exchange tips really handy! These are details that are small yet significant so he covered it all for us just so that we dont forget! Once there, he provided us with trusted places to shop, exchange money etc and some other visits we did too that were humbling!! You cannot get this when travelling alone! Brother went out of his way to make the stay as comfrtble as possible not just for adults but the kids too! And the trolley for the luggage at the end of to the trip was icing on the cake! Jzk for an unforgettable experience… i am already planning my next trip! ❤️

This was my first time travelling to Al Aqsa and with Zaarvel, I have been to many destinations and this was by far one of the best trips. From the very beginning brother Numayar looked after us and stayed with us until we got through the checkpoints at Tel Aviv. We were understandably very nervous but we soon realised we really had nothing to worry about. Everything was organsied perfectly from the transport to hotel to the very educational tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and have already recommended to others. We would definitely travel with Zaarvel again.

Zaarvel Team had made this a memorable experience for me and my family. In our group there were between 50/55 people from London, Leicester, Manchester, Dubai, etc. Before we travel, Zaarvel make it clear what is needed and essentials for trip. We have video conference for any questions that you may have, very in depth. This is my 2nd time at Al Aqsa and can't get enough. What amazing trip, very well organised and packed everyday with things to do. Day 1, walking around Al Aqsa Compound and learning the history by experienced tour guild. Day 2 visiting locals or doing walking tour outside the compound. Day 3 coach trip from 8am to 9pm, visiting famous Ibrahim Mosjid and Musa Mosjid, Banksy Museum, Jericho, Mount of Olives, etc. Day 4 Jummah and shopping, Day 5 return. Action packed. When visiting Al Aqsa alot of Sabr patience is needed. At airport any foreigner they will keep few hours and may question what your visit is about. Insha'Allah I will be going again and again.

Visiting Al-Aqsa was honestly one of the most emotional and spiritual things I’ve ever experienced. From praying in the blessed compound to the amazing excursions organised by Zaarvel, every part of the trip reminded me how powerful and deep our history is as Muslims. The itinerary was so well thought out — I loved how the guides mixed in historical facts with spiritual lessons, whether we were at the Mount of Olives, Masjid Umar, or visiting the tombs of the Prophets. Praying in those places was something else… it really hit the heart. Alhamdulillah, my group was also amazing — supportive, kind, and filled with beautiful souls that made the journey even more special. This trip wasn’t just sightseeing — it was healing. I left with a heart that honestly just wants to return again, inshaAllah. May Allah let us all visit Masjid Al-Aqsa, protect its people, and keep our hearts connected to it. Ameen.

I recently had the honour of going on a Zaarvel tour to Palestine and honestly, it was one of the most eye opening and emotional experiences of my life. From the moment we landed to the moment we left, everything was organised with so much care and thought. The whole trip ran smoothly, the tour guides were brilliant, and you could tell they were genuinely passionate about sharing the truth and history of Palestine. This trip really changed me. Before coming, I never took the boycott seriously. I’d hear about it now and then, but I would just brush it off thinking it doesn’t really matter. But after seeing the reality with my own eyes, even just the small day to day struggles the Palestinians go through, I realised how important it actually is. What we saw was only a tiny part of what they deal with every single day. It broke my heart and it opened my eyes. From now on, In Sha Allah, I will do my part and take the boycott seriously. What Zaarvel offered was more than just a tour. It was a journey that touched the heart and soul. Every stop, every moment, felt like it had real purpose. It was clear that the team behind this trip put in a lot of effort and that they truly care about the cause. I’m honestly so grateful I got the chance to be part of it. This wasn’t just about seeing places. It was about learning, reflecting and understanding the deeper truth. I would 100 percent recommend Zaarvel to anyone who wants a real, honest and powerful experience in Palestine. May Allah SWT reward the whole team for everything they’ve done.

Blessed to have had the opportunity to visit the Holy Land with Zaarvel! Amazing trip with a well organised tour operator who is experienced with this destination. Excellent communication and guidance pre and during the tour by Numayar who made the whole journey seamless. Zaarvel arranged excellent local guides from Jerusalem and their knowledge was outstanding providing great depth to the tours. Everyone should try to visit Palestine if they have the opportunity and show solidarity and support to the people of Al Quds. Zaarvel is highly recommended to anyone wishing to embark on this amazing cultural and spiritual journey!

I’ve been on group tours but going with Zaarvel was a cut above the rest for sure! From the booking process to returning from the Al Aqsa trip, the service was undeniable. They were swift in all responses and queries and put any worries to bed. The entire time we were treated like guests with all our needs catered to. Even if something was not on the itinerary but we were interested to go there or do something, it was arranged for the ones who wanted to go. Zaarvel team knew everyone on the ground and are well connected on the other side so you feel completely at ease knowing you’re in safe hands. We were treated like guests, friends and family. Through their genuineness and sincerity, they created an unforgettable trip of a lifetime. Thanks and best wishes for a successful future!
