New walkway and golf cart route enhances access to Mecca's Grand Mosque

Luxury hotel - 'Address Jabal Omar' - situated in Mecca, Saudi Arabia has introduced a walkway and golf cart route to enhance the access to the Sacred Mosque, Masjid Al Haram.

Masjid al-Haram, also known as the Sacred Mosque or the Great Mosque of Mecca, is considered to be the most significant mosque in Islam. Masjid Al Haram holds profound spiritual significance. Home to the Kaaba, it is the focal point for the Hajj pilgrimage alongside the Black Stone, the Zamzam Well, Maqam Ibrahim, and the Safa and Marwa hills.

Address Jabal Omar Makkah blends modern sophistication and spirituality with world-class hospitality. Elevating the property's allure, it has recently introduced the Address Walkway to access Masjid Al Haram in under five minutes on foot. Guests can move along the walkway on foot, by golf cart, or enjoy VIP transportation and accessible shuttle buses.

Nicolas Bellaton, Head of Emaar Hospitality Group notes "The Address Walkway reflects our dedication to provide high-quality services and exceptional experience. It offers a seamless connection to one of the world's most revered landmarks, further enhancing convenience and comfort, and ensuring an exceptional stay for all guests."

Eng Saleh Al Habdan, Chief Executive Jabal Omar Development Company added "this new route supports pilgrims and visitors in their spiritual journey. By reducing walking time and offering multiple transportation options, we have made the connection to Masjid Al Haram both accessible and effortless."

Situated beneath the property's Sky Mussallah, the walkway allows guests to walk the short route or take a golf cart ride to the first ramp, the golf carts transport guests to a straight pathway that leads directly to Masjid Al Haram. Equipped with escalators, stairs, and elevators, it is perfect for soaking in the breathtaking views of the city and pleasant winter weather.

Guests can experience a quick and direct ride to the Grand Mosque via golf carts, which depart from C1floor, reaching the mosque in under four minutes. These include accessible vehicles for those with special mobility needs.
