The drive from Jeddah's coastal heat up to Taif is one of the region's classic escapes. It is roughly 170 km, and a private car makes it an easy weekend or day trip without arranging your own driver or parking.
From the coast to the highlands
The journey takes about two to two and a half hours, and the last stretch climbs into the mountains. Temperatures in Taif are noticeably cooler than in Jeddah, which is why many families head there in the summer months.
Weekend breaks and day trips
We can arrange a one-way transfer to your hotel or resort, or a round trip with a return time agreed in advance. If you want to visit rose farms or viewpoints, tell us and we will plan the day around them.
Families and luggage
For families, one vehicle carries everyone and their luggage together. Give us the number of passengers and bags when you book so we can suggest the right car or van.
