Real Estate Prices in Mecca: The City of the Two Holy Mosques
Mecca is considered a holy city, which gives it a unique character. Real estate prices there are generally high, and are greatly affected by the proximity of the property to the Grand Mosque. Demand for real estate in Mecca increases during Hajj and Umrah seasons, which directly affects prices.
The Impact of the Grand Mosque on Prices:
The closer the property is to the Grand Mosque, the higher its prices are significantly. Hotels and hotel apartments near the Grand Mosque are among the most expensive properties in the city.

Prices also vary depending on the proximity of the property to the Prophet’s Mosque.
The Impact of the Prophet’s Mosque on Prices:
