To further elevate the property's allure, the stunning hotel has recently introduced the Address Walkway to directly access the famed Masjid Al Haram in under five minutes on foot. Previously, this walk took approximately 10 minutes, but the new route offers an improved, faster connection. Guests can travel along the walkway on foot, by golf cart, or choose between VIP transportation and accessible shuttle buses via an alternative route, each option thoughtfully designed to provide effortless convenience for every traveller.

By reducing walking time and offering multiple transportation options, we aim to make the connection to Masjid Al Haram as accessible and effortless as possible.'
Masjid Al Haram, also known as the Sacred Mosque, is a place of profound spiritual significance. It is home to the Kaaba and serves as the focal point for the Hajj pilgrimage alongside revered landmarks such as the Black Stone, the Zamzam Well, Maqam Ibrahim, and the Safa and Marwa hills. With its proximity to this iconic landmark, Address Jabal Omar Makkah allows pilgrims and travellers to connect with their faith in a setting of unparallelled reverence and grandeur.
Situated beneath the property's awe-inspiring Sky Mussallah, the world's highest prayer room within a sky bridge, the new Address Walkway offers guests the option to walk the short route or begin with a convenient golf cart ride to the first ramp. From the exit doors of Towers H1A and H2Z of the hotel, the golf carts transport guests to a straight pathway that leads directly to Masjid Al Haram. Equipped with escalators, stairs, and elevators along the way, this route is perfect for soaking in the breathtaking views of the city and pleasant winter weather.
For a faster connection, Address Jabal Omar Makkah also offers regular shuttle buses departing from the hotel's ML and C1 floors, reaching the mosque in under four minutes. Designed with all guests in mind, these buses include accessible vehicles for those with special mobility needs.
For those seeking the pinnacle of convenience and style, the property's exclusive VIP transportation service provides luxurious, private vehicles with 24/7 availability. This premium option offers a direct drop-off at the nearest access point to Masjid Al Haram, ensuring a seamless and stress-free journey.

Look: Pilgrims 'stone the devil' as Hajj nears end in Saudi Arabia
Pilgrims were performing the last major ritual of the Hajj - the "stoning of the devil" - on Friday, as Muslims around the globe celebrated the beginning of the Eid Al Adha holiday. From before day break, the 1.6 million-plus pilgrims began throwing seven stones at each of three concrete walls symbolising the devil in the Mina valley, on the outskirts of the holy city of Makkah. | Ù�شاÙ�د Ù�Øجاج بÙ�Ø° اÙ�Ù�Ù� اÙ�ØراÙ� Ù�Ù�Ù� Ù�رÙ�Ù�Ù� جÙ�رة اÙ�عÙ�بة. #Ù�اس_Øج46 | #Ù�اس_عاÙ� — Ù�اس اÙ�عاÙ� (@SPAregions) June 6, 2025 Droves of pilgrims had already set out from their accommodation in the sprawling tent city in Mina before dawn, taking advantage of the cool temperatures. The ritual commemorates Abraham's stoning of the devil at the three spots where it is said Satan tried to dissuade him from obeying God's order to sacrifice his son.

We entered and within five minutes we had completed the stoning of the devil at the 'Jamarat'," said 34-year-old Wael Ahmed Abdel Kader, from Egypt, after carrying out the ritual at dawn. Howakita, a pilgrim from Guinea, said the prospect of celebrating Eid in Makkah filled her with joy. "When I threw the stones I felt at ease. I was truly proud," she said. The stoning ritual in the Mina valley was the scene of a fatal stampede in 2015, when 2,300 people were killed in one of the deadliest Hajj disasters. A day earlier, pilgrims converged on Mount Arafat, praying and reciting Koranic verses at the 70-metre (230-foot) rocky rise near Mecca, where the Prophet Mohammed is believed to have given his last sermon. Many climbed the mount despite the searing heat, though numbers had thinned by midday following official warnings for pilgrims to stay inside between 10am and pm.
