Rooms and Restaurants 

You can also feel perpetually close to the mosque due to the panoramic view provided in the hotel rooms. The rooms look over the city and you can easily see the sites and the places clearly. 

The hotel provides ample accommodations to its guests in the form of simple rooms or spacious suites. Both options are elegant and magnificently made, with luxurious facilities and comfortable amenities present in abundance. 

Each room has a complimentary WiFi connection for the guests.

From traditional Arabian dishes to international cuisines, you can enjoy the food of your choice.
