Al Marwa Rayhaan, Rotana’s first hotel in Saudi Arabia under Rayhaan Hotels & Resorts brand, has reported a very successful Haj season with high occupancy compared to last year, in spite of the visa restrictions and reduction in the number of pilgrims.

Mohamad Haj Hassan, area VP Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Sudan of Rotana, said: “This year’s Haj season was a great achievement for us and we are especially honored to have been selected as the hotel of choice by Tabun Haj, the official organizers for Haj and Umrah in Malaysia, to host a group of approximately 100 VIP pilgrims.”

Hassan added: “Relying on our long experience and expertise in tourism and hospitality in the region, we are able to offer the finest hospitality services to our distinguished guests. Naturally, we are fully attuned to the feelings of pilgrims and make every effort to ensure they are able to devote themselves entirely to the performance of their rituals. In this respect we are privileged to support the magnificent efforts of the relevant government agencies to ensure the safety and security of pilgrims.”

Al Marwa Rayhaan by Rotana is designed to set the highest standards of comfort and style, and offers guests a choice of more than 480 deluxe rooms and suites, while dining is to be enjoyed at three signature restaurants; Al Bayt, Al Dayfa and Al Shorfa.

Ideally located for pilgrims to the holy city of Makkah,

Al Marwa Rayhaan by Rotana is in close proximity to the Holy Haram, overlooking King Abdul Aziz Gate and the Kaaba. Also adjacent are the Abraj Al Bait project and a commercial complex comprising a spacious mosque, a multi-story shopping mall and a 24-hour medical center.
