Why Choose a Private Taxi Over the Train or Bus?

While the Haramain High-Speed Railway and public buses are available, a private taxi transfer with Umrah.cab offers clear advantages for pilgrims and families.
1

Door-to-Door ConvenienceChallenge: With trains and buses, you still need transport from your hotel in Makkah to the station, and from the station in Madinah to your hotel, all while handling heavy luggage.

Our Solution: Direct hotel-to-hotel service. We pick you up from your lobby in Makkah and drop you off at your hotel in Madinah, eliminating the hassle of transfers and luggage.

2

Comfort, Privacy, and SpaceChallenge: Public transport is often crowded, with limited comfort and no privacy.

Our Solution: Travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle just for your group. For maximum comfort on this long journey, we recommend our spacious SUVs, which are perfect for families and elderly passengers.

3

Flexibility on the RoadChallenge: Trains and buses run on fixed schedules and don’t allow flexible stops.

Our Solution: Your trip is on your terms. Request stops for Salah (prayer), meals, or rest breaks at highway service areas whenever needed.

Important Note: Ihram and Miqat

When traveling from Makkah to Madinah, pilgrims generally leave the state of Ihram (after performing Umrah) and continue their journey for Ziyaraat (visitation).
1

No Miqat Stop RequiredOn the Makkah → Madinah route, you do not need to enter Ihram or stop at a Miqat point, as you are leaving the Haram area and heading for visitation, not entering Makkah for Umrah.

2

Reverse Journey: Madinah → MakkahWhen traveling back to Makkah with the intention of performing Umrah, pilgrims must stop at the Miqat point in Abyar Ali (Masjid Dhul Hulayfah) to enter Ihram. This is a key requirement for starting the Umrah pilgrimage.

3

Travel Made Simple with Umrah.cabOur drivers are familiar with the Miqat requirements. They can stop at Abyar Ali for you on the Madinah → Makkah journey. This ensures you can perform your rituals correctly and comfortably without worrying about logistics.

FAQs About the Makkah to Madinah Transfer

1. How long does the journey take?

The journey typically takes between 4 to 5 hours, depending on highway traffic conditions and the duration of any stops you choose to make.

2. Is it better than the Haramain Train?

If you prioritize door-to-door convenience, luggage handling, privacy, and the flexibility to stop, a private taxi is often superior. The train is faster (approximately 2.5 hours of travel time). Still, when you factor in travel to/from the stations, check-in, and waiting times, the total journey time is often similar, albeit with more hassle.

3. Can we stop for food or prayer during the journey?

Yes. Inform your driver when you wish to stop at one of the highway rest areas.

4. Is the route safe for night travel?

Yes, the highway is modern and patrolled regularly. Our professional drivers are experienced in both day and night driving conditions. We operate this service 24/7.

5. I have a lot of luggage. Which vehicle should I choose?

For intercity travel, we always recommend prioritizing space. If you have significant luggage, an SUV or a Van is the best choice to ensure a comfortable ride for all passengers.

6. Is the price fixed, or is it metered?

All our intercity transfers are provided at a fixed, pre-agreed price. There are no hidden charges.
