Accommodation in Banidhafar from NZ$102

Very close to Masjid Nabwi, literally opposite gate 320. The hotel is nice, clean and customer service was good. Breakfast options were basic but lovely. The view from the dining area was of the masjid.

Super gut Very Closed to Nabawi mosque only 2 minutes walking distance

It’s extremely close walking to Masjid Nabawi (the Prophet’s Mosque) in Medinah, Saudi Arabia. For wheelchair guests, it’s completely accessible (ramps and elevators) and allows you to walk to the masjid without any headaches. For taxis to other places (such as Masjid Quba - the first Mosque in Islamic History also located in Medinah), you have to go out and try to hail one outside very close to the hotel. Suggest to hail one yourself and negotiate prices beforehand. Otherwise can use Uber or Careem taxi services BUT they usually charge a bit more and are only Saudi Arabian drivers who may not speak any English or they will give you a harder time by making the trip longer going the roundabout way. But this depends on the driver. If you have more money to spend, it’s usually easier to find one driver you like and keep them the whole day or even better convince them to stay the whole time you are there everyday in Medinah, especially if you have a set itinerary planned. You can just say, hey for this amount of money, can you stick with us for the next 4/5 hours and take us to these places. Drivers would usually favor that since it gives them a stable/guaranteed income for those hours. Give a heavy tip if you can. Most work for meager wages unfortunately still. As for the amenities of the hotel, you will get porter service as needed/requested, rooms cleaned once a day or perhaps more as requested, 24/7 room service but don’t know the cost as we never used it. The hotel’s 4.5/5
