Taif International Airport (TIF) serves the highland city of Taif, in the mountains east of Makkah. Al Safa Taxi arranges private transfers from the airport into Taif, and onward to Makkah and Jeddah.
Transfers into Taif
Taif sits at a much higher elevation than Makkah or Jeddah, so the climate is noticeably cooler, especially in the summer months. That makes it a popular destination for residents of the coast and the Holy Cities looking for a break. We arrange airport pickups to Taif hotels, resorts and private addresses.
Taif to Makkah and Jeddah
The road between Taif and Makkah crosses the Sarawat mountains and includes steep, winding sections, so a calm, experienced driver matters, particularly for families and older passengers. If you are heading to Makkah for Umrah, ask us about a stop at the miqat on the Taif road (Qarn al-Manazil, also known as As-Sayl al-Kabir).
Onward journeys to Jeddah are also available if you are connecting to another flight or continuing to the coast.
Booking checklist
To arrange your Taif airport transfer, please share:
- Flight number, arrival date and time
