A fire broke out at Mira Ajyad Hotel in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The blaze, which originated in waste materials — including construction materials and wood — on an empty plot adjacent to the property, spread to cause visible damage to a nearby restaurant and the hotel’s facade before being brought under control.
The fire ignited in discarded waste materials on an empty plot near the hotel.
Construction debris and wood served as the primary fuel, allowing the blaze to take hold before spreading to the surrounding area.
The proximity of the empty plot to the hotel and restaurant meant that both structures sustained damage before Civil Defence teams could fully contain the fire.
Civil Defence Response
Makkah Civil Defence units arrived at the scene and worked to extinguish the blaze.
Teams successfully contained the fire before it could spread further into the hotel or cause structural damage beyond the facade.
The restaurant adjacent to the property also sustained damage as a result of the fire’s reach before it was brought under control.
No Injuries Reported
Mira Ajyad Hotel sits in the heart of Mecca, in close proximity to the Grand Mosque — one of the most densely populated areas in the world during Ramadan.
