1. Arriving from the Great White North
Canadian pilgrims often face long travel times. Direct flights from Toronto are convenient but can still be tiring. Upon landing in Jeddah, the heat can be a shock.
Don't waste time looking for a currency exchange. Pre-book your Jeddah Airport to Makkah Taxi so a driver is waiting for you with a cooled car suitable for heavy luggage.
2. Makkah to Madinah Transfers
After your time in Makkah, we facilitate your travel to Madinah. Our Makkah to Madinah Taxi service is ideal for families who value privacy and door-to-door convenience.
3. Ziyarat in Holy Cities
We provide knowledgeable drivers for Ziyarat in Makkah and Ziyarat in Madinah. Explore the heritage of Islam comfortably.
⚠️ 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
Can I pay in Canadian Dollars?
We do not recommend it. Canadian Dollars are harder for drivers to exchange. Please pay in SAR or book online using your Canadian credit card.
How much luggage can we bring?
If you are traveling with large bags (common for Canadians), we recommend our GMC Yukon (7 passengers + luggage) or Toyota HiAce for larger groups.
