It provides accommodation for travellers seeking a unique cultural experience and taking part in the annual Islamic pilgrimage, Haj.

Many of the rooms offer views of the Prophet’s Mosque. In addition, the property offers four dining venues, including two all-day dining restaurants, a lobby café and a rooftop terrace overlooking the cityscape.

Commecting on the opening, Rotana’s CEO Philip Barnes said: “We’re thrilled to inaugurate the new Al Manakha Rotana in the historic city of Madinah. Religious tourism remains a key pillar of Saudi’s economy and plays a vital role in supporting the Kingdom’s growth strategy.

“Marking our 10th property opening in Saudi Arabia is a proud milestone for Rotana, reinforcing our commitment to the country and serving all travellers to the Holy City.”
