How do we get from Jeddah airport to our hotel in Makkah?

Option 1 — Private car (door to door)

• The driver meets you at arrivals, loads the luggage and drops you near your hotel.
• Best for families, elderly pilgrims, wheelchairs and late-night arrivals.
• Roads near the Haram have restricted access, so the drop-off may be a short walk from the hotel door.

Option 2 — Haramain train + taxi

• From the airport's train station to Makkah station takes about 50 minutes.
• Then a taxi from Makkah station to your hotel.
• Good for light travellers; more steps with heavy bags.

Option 3 — Bus

• Cheapest, but slower and less convenient with luggage.

Before you land

• If you're doing Umrah straight away, you'll already be in ihram — plan rest and water.
• Have your hotel name and address in Arabic.
• Keep medicines and passports in hand luggage.
