Makkah Ziyarat Taxi

What the trip covers

The Ziyarat sites are spread across the valley and out into the hills, with no route between them on foot. We collect you from your hotel, drive the circuit at whatever pace suits you, and bring you back — typically three to four hours, or longer if you intend to climb.

The fare is fixed per vehicle, not per person, so a family of four pays 180 SR between them in a Camry. There is no meter and no charge for the waiting time at each stop.

Half-day private trip, hotel pickup and return. Prices are per vehicle, not per person. All figures in Saudi Riyals.

Where your driver takes you

The usual circuit, in the order that keeps the driving down and puts the climbs early. Tell us if you would rather skip a stop or add one.

1. Jabal al-Nour The Mountain of Light, with the Cave of Hira near its summit. Climb it if you intend to — 60 to 90 minutes each way — or see it from the base, which is what most visitors do.
2. Jabal Thawr The Cave of Thawr, where the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr sheltered during the hijrah. A harder climb than Hira; almost everyone views it from the road.
3. Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat Driven rather than walked. The tent city at Mina, the open ground of Muzdalifah, and the plain of Arafat with Jabal al-Rahmah at its edge.
4. Jannat al-Mu'alla The historic cemetery of Makkah, close to the Haram. Subject to opening hours — your driver will tell you what is possible on the day.
5. Back to your hotel Dropped at your hotel door, or at the nearest permitted point if your hotel sits inside the restricted zone near the Haram.
