About this journey
What the drive is actually like
Travelling from Madinah to Makkah for Umrah means passing your Miqat, and for pilgrims leaving Madinah that is Masjid Dhul Hulayfah — Abyar Ali — about 12 km outside the city. It is not optional and it is not a place to be rushed.
Every Madinah to Makkah booking includes a free stop there of 30 to 45 minutes. The mosque has proper facilities for ghusl and changing. Take your time, offer two rak'ahs, make your niyyah, and the driver will be waiting exactly where he dropped you.
From Abyar Ali it is about four and a half hours south with one rest stop, arriving at your Makkah hotel. If you want the talbiyah playing or complete quiet, tell the driver — he has done this drive many times and takes the cue from you.
