Makkah booking sites for iftar programmes, seminars and family occasions.

Event management booking website development in Makkah means building for a city whose calendar follows Ramadan, the Hajj season and the steady flow of Umrah visitors. Codeeo builds booking and payment sites for hotel banquet teams, seminar and conference organisers, wedding halls and occasion planners in Makkah. Guests choose a date or session, see live availability, pay or leave a deposit and receive a confirmation in their own language, while your staff manage capacity, refunds and invoices from one admin.

Many of your buyers will be in Makkah for days rather than years, and they speak many languages. We run discovery for Makkah clients over video calls and design every flow so a first time visitor can book on a phone in minutes. Confirmations reach them in the language they chose.

Built for
Hotel banquet and iftar teams near the Haram, seminar and lecture organisers, conference producers using venues such as the Makkah Chamber exhibitions and events centre, wedding halls serving Makkah families, and occasion planners.
Typical timeline
Timing is agreed after video call discovery, working back from the date you most need to sell for, often the start of Ramadan or a fixed conference date, and written down before design begins.
What you own
The full source code, the admin and its content, your payment gateway account in your company name, guest and booking records, and every payment, refund and invoice record.

What the booking platform includes

Booking tools shaped by the Makkah calendar.

Demand in Makkah does not spread evenly across the year. Ramadan nights, the days around Hajj and school holidays can fill a hotel ballroom or a seminar hall in hours, while quieter months depend on residents and local companies. A booking platform here has to price and cap by date, switch languages easily and cope with buyers who will only be in the city briefly.

Our event management online booking system development in Makkah starts with your calendar. We mark peak periods, blackout dates and the Hijri dates your audience plans around, then model each product you sell against it: iftar and suhoor sittings, lecture series, conference passes, hall bookings and occasion packages. Prices, deposits and refund terms can change automatically by period, so your team stops editing them by hand each season. Every product can also be paused instantly if the hotel or hall needs the space for something else.

Explain your project
  • Hijri and Gregorian calendars

    Customers see dates in both calendars, and your team can set rules by Hijri date, such as the last ten nights of Ramadan or the days of Eid. Availability, pricing and cut off times follow those rules without anyone converting dates on a spreadsheet.

    Seasonal rules apply on the right night every year.

  • Iftar and suhoor sittings

    Hotels and restaurants sell fixed sittings with a cap per seating, family or group tables, and set menus. Sittings close at a cut off so the kitchen has final numbers, and guests receive a reminder with the entrance to use, which matters in crowded streets near the Haram.

    Kitchens cook for confirmed, paid covers.

  • Seminar and lecture registration

    Lecture series, Quran courses and professional seminars sell places per session or per series, with separate seating for men and women when required. Free sessions can still use registration so you know numbers, while paid ones take payment at booking.

    Halls are set for the people who will actually attend.

  • Many languages on one site

    Arabic first with English beside it, and further languages such as Urdu, Indonesian, Malay, Turkish or French where your audience needs them. Right to left and left to right layouts are both handled properly, and confirmations go out in the language the guest booked in.

    Visitors book without asking a relative to translate.

  • Group bookings for visitor parties

    A group leader can book places for a whole party, pay once and add names later. The organiser sees how many places are booked per group, which helps when seating large parties together for a dinner or a talk.

    Large groups arrive seated together without phone calls.

  • Wedding hall and occasion bookings

    Residents reserve halls by date, choose a package, set guest numbers for men's and women's sections and pay a deposit. Further payments are scheduled before the event, and the calendar blocks the date once the deposit clears.

    Your hall calendar is always current and paid for.

  • Payments for residents and visitors

    Our event management online payment integration in Makkah covers mada for residents, international Visa and Mastercard for visitors, Apple Pay and STC Pay, through a gateway operating under SAMA rules. Tabby or Tamara can be offered for larger occasion packages where your business is approved.

    Guests from any country can complete checkout.

  • Refunds when plans change

    Visitors' travel plans shift, flights move and groups shrink. Your policy decides whether a booking is refunded, moved to another sitting or credited, with cut offs per product. Refunds return to the original card and every change is logged.

    Change requests are handled consistently, even at peak.

  • VAT invoices and reporting

    Each payment produces a receipt and an invoice that follows ZATCA e-invoicing (Fatoora) rules, with company details captured when a business or group operator pays. Reports show sales by date, product and language, so you can plan staffing for next season.

    Season reports are ready when the season ends.

  • Entry passes and door check in

    Each booking carries a QR code that staff scan at the ballroom or hall entrance with a phone, or a name check against the list for private occasions. The admin shows how many guests have arrived per sitting, so the kitchen and hosts can pace service and release unclaimed tables to walk in guests.

    No shows free up seats instead of leaving them empty.

Who this is for

Four Makkah operators we build booking sites for.

Event businesses in Makkah serve two audiences at once: the residents who live and celebrate in the city all year, and the visitors who come for worship and stay only a short time. Most operators lean towards one of them. These four profiles cover the requests we see most, and each shapes the platform in a different way. Some operators serve both, for example a hotel that hosts visitor iftars in Ramadan and local weddings for the rest of the year, and the platform can carry both under one admin with separate rules.

01

Hotel banquet and iftar teams

Hotels near the Haram sell iftar and suhoor sittings in Ramadan, Eid gatherings, and private dining for visiting families and groups. These sell fast, in many languages, to people who may only arrive the day before. A booking site with sittings, caps, group tables and multilingual confirmations turns a front desk queue into paid reservations taken before guests reach the hotel.

The site can sit alongside your existing room booking engine.

02

Seminar, lecture and course organisers

Institutes, training providers and organisers of religious or professional seminars need registration by session, separate seating plans, fees for paid courses and attendance records. We build a catalogue of sessions with booking, payment and reminders, and give your administrators an easy way to publish the next series without developer help.

03

Conference and exhibition producers

Makkah hosts business forums and exhibitions as well as academic and Islamic conferences, using venues such as the Makkah Chamber's exhibitions and events centre and university halls. You sell delegate passes, sponsor packages and sometimes stands. The platform handles pass tiers, company invoices and group registration, and can keep sales closed until your event approval is in place.

04

Wedding halls and occasion planners

For Makkah families, a wedding or aqiqah is planned months ahead and paid in stages. A site that shows free dates, separates men's and women's guest numbers, builds a package with catering and decoration, and takes a deposit gives your customers certainty and gives you a calendar you can trust.

Peak season dates can carry their own deposit rules.

Six steps to a booking site ready for the next season.

  1. 01Video call discoveryWe map your products, seasons, languages, payment needs and existing systems with your managers over video calls, and agree which date the platform must be ready for.
  2. 02Season and capacity modelPeak periods, blackout dates, sittings, halls and session caps are set up with prices and refund rules for each, using both Hijri and Gregorian dates.
  3. 03Multilingual designArabic first screens, then each further language, designed for small phones and quick decisions, with clear entrances, timings and what is included shown before payment.
  4. 04Payments and invoicingLocal and international payment methods are connected, refund routes tested, and invoices checked against ZATCA requirements with your accountant before launch.
  5. 05Rehearsal before the peakWe load test the site against a Ramadan style rush, train front desk and sales staff, and run a soft launch on a smaller date first.
  6. 06Peak period supportDuring the busiest weeks we monitor sales, payments and capacity closely, then review results with you afterwards and adjust rules for the following year.

Technology

What we build this with.

We pick a stack that loads quickly on mobile data in crowded areas, handles right to left and left to right text properly, locks capacity reliably at peak and settles payments to your Saudi account. Your staff edit sittings, menus and sessions themselves through a simple admin.

Questions Makkah operators ask before taking bookings online.

Because your busiest weeks are too short to handle bookings by phone.

In Ramadan or around Hajj, a hotel or hall can receive more enquiries in a day than it handles in a quiet month. Taking those by phone, WhatsApp and the front desk loses bookings and creates double sales. A booking site lets visitors reserve and pay before they arrive, often from their home country, and gives your team accurate numbers for every sitting or session. Outside the peaks, the same site serves residents planning occasions and local companies booking events.
