Prime location and unique design
Strategically situated within the Al-Haram Boundaries, the community is only 20 minutes from Al-Masjid Al-Haram, less than an hour from King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah, and a mere two minutes from Makkah Gate. Its location and design set it apart, as the homes reflect traditional architectural elements infused with modern materials, creating a distinctive living space.
Commitment to quality living
“Spanning over 21 million square meters, ALMANAR will offer over 33,000 homes and provide over 150 amenities to cater to residents’ needs,” stated Dr. Khalid Johar, ROSHN’s acting group CEO. “ALMANAR Community represents a pivotal step in creating an integrated living environment within Makkah Al-Mukarramah, which will be only 20 minutes away from Al-Masjid Al-Haram. As ROSHN Group, we are committed to both raising the quality of life and contributing to reshaping the urban landscape in Makkah Al-Mukarramah,” Johar added.
