Jabal Omar is one of Makkah’s designated foreign-ownership zones, rising on the hillside immediately west of Al-Masjid al-Haram. Masterplanned by Foster + Partners, it is a landmark mixed-use destination of hotel and residential towers — among the closest new homes to the Holy Mosque, linked to it by dedicated pedestrian access. Under Saudi Arabia’s 2026 framework, residences in this zone are sold freehold to Muslim buyers worldwide.
