Hotel franchising company Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has partnered with entrepreneur Mohammed Khalid Sabbagh to launch a new hotel in Madinah in Saudi Arabia.

The hotel will operate under the Ramada by Wyndham brand, and be located in the Al Jamawat district on Al Salam Road, approximately 5km from the Holy Mosque.

The property will comprise 77 guest rooms and is aimed at serving both domestic and international pilgrims travelling to the city, as per a release posted on Zawya.

The upcoming Ramada by Wyndham hotel is set to include an all-day dining venue, fitness facilities, and guest rooms equipped for various traveller needs.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts KSA country director Mohammad Haj Hassan said: “We are delighted to collaborate with Sabbagh on this exciting development in Madinah, a city of deep spiritual and cultural importance.

“This partnership underscores Wyndham’s commitment to expanding our presence across Saudi Arabia and supporting the Kingdom’s ambition to become one of the world’s leading tourism destinations.”

The announcement comes as Saudi Arabia reports significant growth in its tourism sector.

In 2023, the kingdom recorded more than 110 million visitors, with 30 million from outside the country.

This increase aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative, which focuses on expanding tourism infrastructure through substantial investment.

The addition of the Ramada by Wyndham Madinah forms part of these ongoing efforts to support the hospitality industry and accommodate rising visitor numbers.

Ramada by Wyndham Madinah owner Mohammed Khalid Sabbagh said: “It is an honour to bring the renowned Ramada by Wyndham brand to the holy city of Madinah. This project represents my personal commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and contributing to the Kingdom’s rapidly growing tourism and hospitality sector.”

The development will add to Wyndham’s existing presence in Saudi Arabia, which includes operations in Riyadh, Mecca, Jeddah, Dammam, and other locations.

Earlier in October 2025, Wyndham’s Trademark Collection Courtland Grand Hotel completed an extensive renovation to offer refurbished guest rooms and a renovated restaurant.
