1. The Ultra-Long Haul: Jeddah Arrival
Traveling from Australia is one of the longest journeys to the Holy Land. By the time you land in Jeddah (JED), you will be exhausted.
Our Jeddah Airport to Makkah Taxi guarantees a driver waits for you, assists with heavy luggage, and takes you directly to your hotel. No queues, no hassle.
2. Makkah to Madinah
Complete your pilgrimage by visiting the Prophet’s Mosque. Our Makkah to Madinah Taxi service is perfect for families who want to travel at their own pace.
3. Sacred Sightseeing (Ziyarat)
We organize Ziyarat in Makkah and Ziyarat in Madinah for Australian groups, visiting Jabal Thawr, Quba Mosque, and more.
⚠️ Important Note on Cash Payments:
While some drivers may accept foreign currency in emergencies, we strongly recommend paying in Saudi Riyals (SAR). Exchanging foreign currency incurs fees and taxes for our drivers, often resulting in a less favorable exchange rate for you. For the best price and convenience, please book online or ensure you have SAR cash ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply child seats?
We can provide child seats upon request for families traveling with young children. Please mention this in your booking notes.
Is it better to exchange money in Australia or Saudi?
Rates are usually better in Saudi Arabia or via ATM withdrawals. However, to pay your driver, you must have SAR cash if you haven't prepaid online.
