The Two Holy Mosques are undoubtedly the sanctuaries towards which the hearts of the Muslims from all over the world are filled with love. They are prompted by this overwhelming love to heed the call of the Prophet Abraham (Peace Be Upon Him) and perform the Hajj to the sacred House of Allah as Allah has made Hajj a duty for all able Muslims who can afford the sacred journey. The people of Saudi Arabia are honored to serve the guests of Allah. They spare no effort and employ all available resources and capabilities. There are a good number of hotels in the major cities of Saudi Arabia, including 5-star international hotel chains.

 

It is recommended that reservations be made well in advance, as occupancy tends to be high, specially in the peak summer period and Haj period. There is a superb range of shopping opportunities in the major cities of Saudi Arabia. World class brands are widely available, from reasonably-priced electronic items from the Far East to high-priced fashion goods from Europe. Locally crafted gold jewelry is relatively inexpensive and of premium quality.
