Travelling from Madinah to Makkah for Umrah involves more than the road itself: pilgrims commonly need to stop at the miqat on the way. A private car lets you plan that stop, and the rest of the journey, around your group.
Stopping at the miqat
Pilgrims travelling from Madinah to Makkah for Umrah commonly enter ihram at Dhul Hulayfah (Abyar Ali), a short drive from Madinah on the road towards Makkah. Tell us in advance if you need this stop so it is built into the schedule, with enough time to prepare and pray.
The journey to Makkah
The distance is roughly 450 km and takes about four and a half to five hours without stops. Plan the departure with us around prayer times and heat, and let us know if you need stops for rest or meals.
Arriving in Makkah
Vehicle access near the Masjid al-Haram can be restricted and changes with crowd levels, so your driver will take you to the closest practical drop-off for your hotel. Share the hotel name when you book.
