Traveling within Saudi Arabia is always a combination of spirituality, comfort, and discovery. Every pilgrim and visitor wishes to move smoothly between the holy cities and, at the same time, enjoy the beauty of Saudi landscapes and history. During my recent trip for Umrah, I decided to book with Saudia Taxi, and my experience from Makkah to Madinah as well as the Makkah to Jeddah city tour was remarkable in every way.
Booking and First Impression
My journey with Saudia Taxi started with an easy booking process. The communication team was highly responsive and guided me through all available options for vehicles and tour packages. I liked how transparent they were about pricing—no hidden costs or last-minute surprises.
On the day of travel, the driver arrived right on time at my hotel in Makkah. The vehicle was spacious, air-conditioned, and very clean. This was important for me because long-distance trips in Saudi Arabia can be tiring if the transport is not comfortable. The driver greeted me politely and even helped with my luggage, giving me a great first impression.
Makkah to Madinah Journey
The Makkah to Madinah route is one of the most traveled paths for pilgrims and visitors. It is not just about covering the distance but about moving from one holy city to another, each with its own deep spiritual significance. With Saudia Taxi, the journey was exceptionally smooth.
The ride itself took around 4 to 5 hours, and I didn’t feel exhausted at all because of the comfort provided. The driver was experienced and maintained a perfect balance of safe and swift driving. What I found unique about this trip was how well the driver understood the needs of pilgrims. He respected prayer times and even made stops at mosques along the way so that we could perform our Salah without any rush.
Some memorable highlights of the journey included:
-
The Desert Landscape: Watching the vast desert stretch endlessly was an experience in itself. The peaceful silence of the road gave me time to reflect and connect spiritually.
-
Rest Stops: Saudia Taxi ensured we stopped at neat and well-maintained service areas for food, refreshments, and washrooms.
-
Spiritual Conversations: The driver shared historical insights about certain regions we passed by, making the journey educational as well as comfortable.
Arriving in Madinah with a fresh and relaxed mind was exactly what I needed. Thanks to Saudia Taxi, the travel experience itself became part of my spiritual journey.
Comfort and Hospitality
One thing that stood out to me on this Makkah to Madinah trip was the hospitality. The driver carried cold bottled water and light refreshments for the journey. Whenever I needed a stop, he was happy to adjust. This flexibility and care made me feel more like I was traveling with a family member rather than just a service provider.
The car ride was peaceful—sometimes we listened to soft recitations of the Quran, and other times we enjoyed the quietness of the journey. The level of professionalism and respect made a huge difference.
