Here is an article on the Hotels in Makkah that are good for the elderly offered by our travel agency with the best and Cheap Hajj packages from London. Every year, millions of pilgrims from all over the world go to Makkah for the Umrah and Hajj ceremonies; yet, with benefits come twice the duties, especially for the elderly. It is advisable for persons traveling with the elderly to stay in hotels near Masjid al-Haram during the Umrah and Hajj seasons.

The trip from the mosque's boundaries to its core, the Kaaba, usually takes at least 7 minutes, and if you're accompanied by an old person, the rites become extremely challenging. In such a case, the best course of action is to seek lodgings near the holy mosque and offer aid to the elderly. There are just a few hotels within walking distance of the mosque; they are all regarded luxury hotels that give excellent service to pilgrims.
