About Riyadh to Madinah Private Taxi — Umrah & Ziyarat Transfer Taxi Service
Travelling from Riyadh to the Prophet's City — Al Madinah Al Munawwarah — is a journey of faith and intention. Our private taxi covers the 840km route via the Riyadh–Madinah Expressway (Route 60/65), passing through the central Najd plateau and into the Hejaz region. This is the preferred mode of travel for families and Umrah groups from Riyadh who want to arrive directly at their Madinah hotel — whether in the Central Area (Al Markaziyah), near Masjid Al-Nabawi, or in the outer residential zones — without transfers or shared schedules. We include scheduled prayer and rest stops on this long-distance route, and all drivers are trained for overnight intercity travel. Departures available from any Riyadh district: King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), Olaya, Diplomatic Quarter, King Khalid International Airport (RUH), or any hotel. Drop-off at all Madinah hotels, Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED), or the Haramain High Speed Railway Station.

Riyadh to Madinah Private Taxi — Umrah & Ziyarat Transfer FAQ
How long is the drive from Riyadh to Madinah by private taxi?
The Riyadh to Madinah journey is approximately 840km and takes 8–9 hours via Route 65. We include scheduled prayer and rest stops. For overnight travel (recommended to avoid daytime heat), we recommend departing after Isha prayer and arriving in Madinah before Fajr.
Can I book a Riyadh to Madinah taxi for Umrah?
Yes — this is one of our most requested routes for Riyadh-based pilgrims performing Umrah. We provide direct, door-to-door transfer from your Riyadh address to your Madinah hotel. Families with children, elderly pilgrims, and those with heavy luggage find a private taxi far more comfortable than the bus or train alternatives.
What is the cheapest way to travel from Riyadh to Madinah?
The SAPTCO bus is the cheapest option at approximately SAR 100–150 per person. The Haramain Train from Riyadh's King Abdulaziz Station connects via Qassim but is not a direct Riyadh–Madinah service. A private taxi is priced per vehicle, making it cost-effective for families of 4–7 when split per head.
Can I be dropped off directly at Masjid Al-Nabawi in Madinah?
Our drivers drop you at the closest permitted vehicle access point to your specific hotel in Madinah. If your hotel is within the Markaziyah zone near the Prophet's Mosque, you will be within a very short walk of the mosque entrance.
Is there a Riyadh to Madinah train?
There is no direct train from Riyadh to Madinah currently. The Haramain High Speed Rail connects Madinah to Makkah, Jeddah, and KAEC — but not directly to Riyadh. A private taxi remains the most direct, flexible door-to-door option from Riyadh.
Can you pick me up from King Khalid Airport (KKIA) and drop me at Madinah Airport (MED)?
Yes. We provide airport-to-airport transfers between KKIA (RUH) in Riyadh and Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED) in Madinah. We track both flights and coordinate departure timing accordingly.
What time should I depart Riyadh to reach Madinah before Fajr?
For Fajr timing in Madinah, we recommend departing Riyadh no later than 10pm. A 9-hour drive with one rest stop brings you to Madinah around 7am. For overnight Umrah departures, many pilgrims choose to leave after Isha prayer (approx. 9:30–10pm) to arrive fresh for morning prayers at Masjid Al-Nabawi.
Pilgrim Travel Wisdom
Making your spiritual journey smoother
Meeting Points
At Jeddah Terminal 1, meet your driver near the large aquarium. For Terminal North, look for the designated pre-arranged transport area.
Peak Hour Planning
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.
Note: Our services are designed to give you peace of mind so you can focus on your Ibadah.
