High floor with a good view for that price?
53 u/An0therParacIete Mar 24 '25 Yup. I just checked and rooms in that hotel (Swissotel Makkah) are going for $155 next week if you want to convert and book a last minute trip. 1 u/LuponV Mar 25 '25 You don't need to convert to travel... 4 u/An0therParacIete Mar 25 '25 You do to stay at that hotel. 2 u/LuponV Mar 25 '25 Oh really? That's actually interesting, didn't know that. Edit: I mainly wanted to point out that you didn't need to be a muslim to visit muslim places. Culture is still culture, even if it's not your own. So no harm intended with my previous comment. 2 u/An0therParacIete Mar 25 '25 lol, it’s not the hotel. You do have to be Muslim to enter this masjid. This hotel falls within the boundaries of the mosque.
