Private taxi and chauffeur transportation across Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah and Taif, including airport transfers, Umrah journeys, Ziyarat and direct intercity travel. Send your trip details, and we confirm the vehicle and price before you go.
+966 50 048 8604Al Safa Taxi provides private transportation across Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah and Taif. You can arrange an airport pickup, a hotel transfer, Umrah transportation, a Ziyarat trip, a city ride, a journey between the cities, or a private chauffeur for the day.
Every ride is private: one vehicle and one driver for your group, chosen by passengers and luggage. It suits individuals, families and groups, travellers with heavy bags, pilgrims and business visitors.
You send your trip details, we confirm the vehicle and the price before you travel, and your driver meets you at an agreed point. Roads near the Haram in Makkah and the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah can be restricted, so we plan the drop-off with you in advance.

Makkah does not have a commercial passenger airport, so many Makkah-bound travellers arrive through Jeddah Airport.
JEDKing Abdulaziz International Airport
Private transfers to: Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Taif
The busiest gateway, and the one most Umrah travellers use. Pilgrim and regular flights can arrive at different terminals, so your airline tells you where you will come out.
Jeddah Airport Transfers
MEDPrince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport
Private transfers to: Madinah hotels, Makkah, Jeddah
Close to the city. The hard part is the last stretch to a hotel near the Prophet's Mosque, and Ziyarat can be added on the day you land.
Madinah Airport Transfers
TIFTaif International Airport
Private transfers to: Taif, Makkah, Jeddah
A smaller airport for visitors to the highlands. Flights are fewer, so tell us early if your time changes.
Taif Airport TransfersSend us your flight number, airport, hotel and destination and we'll confirm the practical pickup and vehicle. See all three on the airports page.
An Umrah trip is usually several journeys, not one. We arrange each of them, and you can book them together or one at a time as your plans settle: the airport transfer, hotel moves, the road between Makkah and Madinah, Ziyarat, a stop at a miqat when you ask for it, and the return to the airport.
We keep to the transport side. For rituals and rules, follow your tour operator or scholar.

A private vehicle and a driver, a route you choose, and a driver who waits while you visit. Some places involve climbing, so tell us who is travelling and we plan what is realistic.
Ziyarat can be added to an airport transfer or a hotel move, or booked for a morning of its own. We provide the transport; the page on Ziyarat explains each place, how much walking it involves and how to plan a morning in each city.

Small details that decide whether a journey in this region is calm or stressful.
Streets around the Haram in Makkah and the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah can be restricted, and some are pedestrian only. A car may stop a short walk from your hotel entrance. Send the exact hotel name before you travel and we confirm the closest practical drop-off, so you are not looking for it with your bags.
Hotel transfersA long flight, a slow immigration queue and a late check-in are hard on older relatives and young children. Tell us who is travelling, and whether anyone needs help with steps or a child seat, and we plan the vehicle and the meeting point around them.
Choose a vehiclePilgrims often leave with more than they arrived with: gifts, dates and Zamzam containers. Count every bag, including hand luggage, because a vehicle that seats six people may not carry six people's suitcases.
Airport transfersMakkah to Madinah is about 450 km, and a stop for prayer, food or rest is part of the journey, not a delay. Say at booking where you would like to stop and we build it into the plan, along with a miqat stop if you want one.
Intercity transfersPickup, destination, date, passengers, luggage, and a flight number when an airport is involved.

A dedicated driver for airport pickups, meetings and events, several stops in one day, or hours and days at a time. Tell us the schedule, the stops and the times that matter, and we plan the day around it, with the driver waiting between meetings so you are not booking a new ride each time. See business transportation for companies and delegations.
