Meeting Points
At Jeddah Terminal 1, meet your driver near the large aquarium. For Terminal North, look for the designated pre-arranged transport area.

Avoid travel during prayer times if possible, as roads near the Haram in Makkah and Madinah often close 30 minutes before and after Salah.
Vehicle Verification
Always ensure your driver is from Haram Taxi Service. They will have your booking details ready on their dispatch app for verification.
Ziyarat Tours
We recommend booking Ziyarat tours (Mount Uhud, Quba Mosque, Cave of Hira) early in the morning to avoid the midday sun and crowds.
