Strategically positioned outside the Haram area, Radisson Hotel Madinah will enjoy close proximity to significant landmarks, being just 3 km away from the Prophet’s Mosque and 750 m from the Quba Mosque, the oldest mosque in Islamic history. Moreover, it will be conveniently located 16 km away from Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz International Airport and 10 km from Madinah train station, which links to Jeddah and Makkah, making it easily accessible for guests and a potential hub for business and leisure travelers.
Madinah, the second-holiest city in Islam annually attracting millions of visitors, is a pivotal location for the companies’ strategic growth in the region. The city’s unique blend of spiritual significance, historical depth, and cultural richness makes it a must-visit destination for pilgrims and tourists.
