Taking a Taxi from Makkah to Madinah: A Convenient Travel Option

For Muslims the road between Makkah and Madinah remains significant regardless of who is on the highway as a pilgrim in Haj or Umra or just a tourist. Mecca and Medina are 400 kilometers apart, but there are many options on how to travel between these two cities: the most comfortable and relatively cheap is the taxi.

A taxi provides a direct link which enables you to go through all the traffic congested areas because there are no formations like buses or trains to contain you. The trip can take roughly about 4 to 5 hours relying on current traffic conditions and the road chosen. Taxi can be ordered locally or through the application, or it is possible to order a car right from the hotel. Taxis are particularly comfortable with fans and/or air conditioning so the drivers provide a comfortable ride in the hot regions like the desert.

Taxis would cost from 300 to 500 SAR from Makkah to Madinah, depending on the taxi type, the route and any number of halts in between. Although taxis are slightly cheaper than buses, the convenience, comfort, and privacy of a taxi are unarguably a big plus, particularly for people who want a comparatively more comfortable ride.

Taxi services should also be booked in advance because it is safer and cheaper to agree on the amount to be charged before hiring the car. Either, you are traveling alone, with your family or in a group, a taxi is one of the easiest and comfortable modes of transport between Makkah and Madinah.
