- Faces the King Abdulaziz Gate plaza — the mosque facade and the crowd, not the Kaaba.
Walking times are our own estimate at an unhurried adult pace, door to named gate, along the route the signage sends you on — not straight-line distance, and not the hotel's own figure. The ranges are wide because lift waits in the towers dominate them: a high floor at a shift change adds several minutes on its own. Add time again at the five prayers, when the approaches to every gate queue. Reviewed end to end in August 2026.
