Book a private taxi from your Madinah hotel to Makkah with fares from 500 SAR. Travel approximately 430–450 km in four to five hours with vehicle options for individuals, families and groups.

The road journey is generally around 430–450 km depending on the precise hotels and route. A private vehicle normally takes four to five hours under typical conditions.
Traffic, a Miqat stop, prayer or refreshment breaks and Ramadan or Hajj movement can increase the journey time. Allow extra time when you have a fixed Makkah check-in or appointment.
Your driver collects the party from the confirmed Madinah hotel lobby, entrance or accessible meeting point and travels directly to the agreed Makkah hotel or residence.
Door-to-door service avoids moving bags between hotels, stations and local taxis. It is practical for families, elderly pilgrims and groups. Use the Madinah taxi service for local travel before departure and the Makkah taxi service after arrival.
Pilgrims travelling from Madinah to Makkah with the intention of performing Umrah must observe the applicable Miqat requirements before proceeding toward Makkah. Dhul Hulayfah, commonly known as Abyar Ali, is the Miqat associated with travellers departing from Madinah.
If required, request a stop at Masjid Dhul Hulayfah when booking. Confirm whether it is included, how long the driver will wait and whether an additional charge applies. Transport staff do not provide religious rulings; consult a qualified scholar for personal Ihram questions.
Seat count does not guarantee space for every bag. Share all luggage, strollers and mobility equipment before choosing from our private taxi vehicles.
Up to four passengers with light luggage; confirm every bag before assignment.
For families of up to six or seven, subject to bags, stroller and usable seating.
For groups of up to ten; substantial luggage may reduce the safe passenger count.
A train may offer a shorter station-to-station journey, while a private taxi provides direct hotel transport and a requested Miqat stop.
