About
Mira Al Sheab
Mira Al Sheab sits in the Sulaimaniyah district of Mecca, on a lower hillside near Al Ghazza gate. Guests consistently describe the location as a short walk to the Haram, with taxis and restaurants close by. The hotel is a simple, 1-star property focused on the essentials: clean rooms, working Wi-Fi in public areas, and 24-hour reception.
Reviews paint a picture of a friendly, cooperative staff – Mr Khalid at reception gets named praise – and rooms that are quiet, clean, and equipped with practical touches like an electric kettle, refrigerator, and TV. Breakfast gets a nod for its variety, and the terrace offers a spot to take in the view. It's not a luxury stay, but it reads as a reliable base for a pilgrimage trip.
