The average prices of hotel rooms in Makkah reached about eight thousand riyals, while the prices of hotels overlooking the courtyards of the Holy Mosque ranged from ten thousand riyals per night to 20 thousand riyals for Fridays and Saturdays, where the price of the room reaches 40 thousand riyals for the last ten days.

The news coming from the Holy Land bears the news that there is a direct increase in the prices of hotel rooms and apartments with the entry of the blessed month of Ramadan, and the prices are always subject to the control of the General Authority for Tourism, but the fears expressed by those coming to the holy capital stem from the high prices they see in the month of Ramadan, especially the last ten days, where the occupancy rate reaches 100%.

As a result of the influx of tourists to the holy capital. The Chamber of Commerce attributed the reason for the high occupancy rate to the last ten days, pointing out that at that time the high occupancy rate is not limited to five, four and three star hotels, but the high-end furnished apartments will also witness a clear increase in the occupancy rate, especially those located in the Aziziyah neighborhood, the bank scheme, the Mahbas al-Jin area, and areas near the Holy Mosque.

As a result of the massive and continuous human flows to Makkah these days.
