Overview
Many pilgrims begin their journey in Madinah and travel down to Makkah to perform Umrah — often entering ihram at the Miqat of Dhul-Hulayfah (Abyar Ali) just outside Madinah. A private Madinah to Makkah taxi makes this straightforward: your driver includes a complimentary stop at the Miqat so you can make your intention and change into ihram in comfort before continuing.
The drive covers roughly 450 kilometres and takes four to five hours. As with the reverse direction, a private transfer means door-to-door service, a fixed price, and the freedom to stop for prayer and rest whenever you wish.
We match the vehicle to your group. Couples and small families are well served by a sedan or SUV, while larger families travel most comfortably in a GMC or Hiace van with room for everyone and their luggage.
