About this journey

What the drive is actually like

Once tawaf and sa'i are behind you, most pilgrims move north to Madinah. The bus is cheaper and the Haramain train is faster, but both mean fixed departure times, luggage limits and two extra transfers at either end. A private car goes hotel door to hotel door, whenever you want to leave.

It is around 450 km and four and a half hours. The driver stops once at a proper service area for prayer, tea and washrooms, and again if anyone needs it. Families with young children usually appreciate being able to say 'can we stop' and have the answer be yes.

Leaving after Isha and arriving in Madinah before Fajr is a popular pattern — the road is empty and the children sleep through it. We run this route around the clock.

Makkah to Madinah — the details

The things pilgrims ask us most about this particular journey.

The train is faster city-centre to city-centre but you still need transfers at both ends and it has luggage limits. A private taxi is door to door, leaves when you want and works out similar in total cost for a family of four or more.

Yes, and many families prefer it. The road is quiet and you arrive in Madinah in time for Fajr.
