About this journey
What the drive is actually like
870 km across the country. It is a long day and we treat it as one: multiple rest stops, prayer stops as the times fall, and the option of a second driver so nobody is behind the wheel for nine straight hours.
Most people who book this are continuing to Riyadh for a connecting flight or visiting family. If your only reason is the flight, tell us — sometimes a domestic hop from Jeddah is the better answer and we will say so.
Included in the fare
- Multiple rest and prayer stops
- Second driver available on request
- Bottled water and refreshments
- Door to door at both ends
Questions
Makkah to Riyadh — the details
The things pilgrims ask us most about this particular journey.
Around nine hours of driving for 870 km, plus stops. Realistically plan for ten to eleven hours door to door.
Often, yes, if it is just you and one other person. A private car makes sense for families of five or more, for a lot of luggage, or when you want to travel overnight without airport time.
