Taif, in the Sarawat mountains, is known for its cooler climate, rose farms and mountain scenery. A private taxi is a practical way to get around the city and to make the road journey to Makkah or Jeddah.
Getting around Taif
Taif's hotels, resorts and viewpoints are spread across the city and the surrounding mountains, including the Al Hada and Al Shafa areas. We arrange private rides between the airport, your accommodation and the places you want to visit, with the return time agreed in advance.
Rose farms and mountain drives
Taif is famous for its roses, and visitors who come in the spring harvest season often want to visit the farms. A private car makes it easy to combine farms, viewpoints and markets in one outing without worrying about parking or directions.
Taif to Makkah and Jeddah
The road down to Makkah crosses mountain terrain with steep, winding sections, which is one reason many visitors prefer to be driven. Makkah is roughly 90 km from Taif and Jeddah roughly 170 km. If you are travelling to Makkah for Umrah, tell us when you book so a stop at the miqat on the Taif road can be planned.
