A suicide bomber blew himself up after a shootout with armed police in a building near the mosque, which is revered as Islam's holiest site.
The Saudi Interior ministry said that the blast wounded six foreigners and five members of security forces.
It also destroyed the three-storey building where the bomber had holed up after security forces launched the raid against the apparent plot.
The planned attack would have taken place just as the month of Ramadan fasting comes to an end and usher in Eid celebrations.
