Home > Madinah Taxi Service
Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah is served by private TGA-licensed taxi services for airport pickups from Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED), intercity transfers to Makkah (with free Miqat stop at Bir Ali), Ziyarat tours of Madinah's holy sites, full-day Badr Ziyarat excursions, and Wadi-e-Jinn tours. All services operate on a pre-booked, fixed-fare, door-to-door basis.
Madinah Al-Munawwarah is the city of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Every street carries history. Every visit to Masjid al-Nabawi is a gift the Prophet ﷺ himself promised — offering salah in his mosque is rewarded a thousand times over that of any other mosque except Masjid al-Haram.
We have been serving pilgrims in Madinah for over a decade. We know the hotel streets of the Nabawi district, the vehicle access restrictions around the mosque's northern and eastern gates during prayer times, which Ziyarat sites are best visited at dawn before the heat arrives, and the distance from the airport to the Anbar hotel corridor. This page gives you a complete overview of every taxi service we operate in and from Madinah, with links to the full details where you need them.
Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz International Airport is located approximately 55 km northwest of Masjid al-Nabawi — a 40 to 50-minute drive under normal conditions. There is no Haramain train connection at MED. A private taxi is the only direct door-to-door option from the airport to your hotel in the Nabawi district.
Fixed fares from SAR 120 (Camry) to SAR 400 (Coaster). Meet and greet at arrivals with a name board.
The most spiritually significant intercity transfer we operate. Pilgrims travelling from Madinah to Makkah to perform Umrah must stop at Masjid Dhul Hulayfah (Bir Ali / Abyar Ali) — the designated Miqat boundary for this direction — before entering Makkah's boundaries. This stop is included free in every booking.
The journey covers 435 km via the Haramain Expressway and takes 4.5 to 5 hours door-to-door. Your driver stops for Salah without being asked and waits at the Miqat mosque without time pressure.
From SAR 450 (Camry) to SAR 1,100 (Coaster).

A private 3 to 4-hour tour of Madinah's sacred sites by your own vehicle and driver. Sites covered: Masjid al-Nabawi, Masjid Quba (founded 622 CE), Masjid Qiblatain, Mount Uhud, Shuhada al-Uhud, Jannat al-Baqi, Seven Mosques (Masajid Sab'ah), Masjid al-Ghamamah, Bir Ghars, and Salman al-Farsi Garden. Wadi-e-Jinn can be added as an extended option.
From SAR 250 (Camry, 3–4 hours).
A full-day excursion (8–9 hours) to the site of the Battle of Badr — approximately 150 km southwest of Madinah. Sites include the Martyrs of Badr cemetery, the Badr Wells, and the Badr Museum. One of the most historically significant sites in Islamic history, and one of the most underserved routes in this niche — very few providers operate this properly.
From SAR 450 (Camry, full day).

The magnetic valley approximately 30 km from Madinah, where vehicles appear to roll uphill without engine power. A popular addition to the Madinah Ziyarat tour, particularly for families and pilgrim groups seeking a fuller day itinerary. Best visited in the morning before the heat builds.
From SAR 350 combined with Madinah Ziyarat.
→ Wadi-e-Jinn Taxi from Madinah
For pilgrims departing Saudi Arabia from Jeddah Airport after completing their time in Madinah. The journey covers approximately 420 km and takes 4 to 5 hours. We advise departure timing based on your flight time and current traffic patterns on the route.
From SAR 540 (Camry).
Madinah's hotel landscape is concentrated around Masjid al-Nabawi in the central Nabawi district, with further properties along the main arterial roads.
Central Nabawi district — hotels within walking distance of Masjid al-Nabawi, including properties facing the mosque's northern, eastern, and western gates. Several streets in this zone operate vehicle access restrictions during Jumu'ah and peak prayer times. Our drivers navigate these daily — they know the permitted windows and the closest vehicle access points for every property.
Al-Anbariyyah Market area — mid-range properties popular with South Asian pilgrim groups, within easy reach of the mosque and the shopping district.
King Fahd Road hotel corridor — properties slightly further from the mosque, favoured for longer stays and competitive rates.
If your hotel is in a pedestrian-restricted zone near the eastern gates, your driver will carry luggage from the nearest vehicle-accessible point. This is routine — it is not a limitation.

Private TGA-licensed taxis in Madinah cover airport pickups from MED, intercity transfers to Makkah (free Miqat stop included), Ziyarat tours, Badr excursions, Wadi-e-Jinn tours, and departures to Jeddah Airport. All services are pre-booked, fixed fare, and door-to-door.
Yes. Uber and Careem operate within Madinah for short local trips. They cannot cover intercity routes, cannot guarantee meet-and-greet at MED Airport, and cannot be pre-confirmed from overseas. For airport transfers, intercity routes, and full-day tours, a pre-booked private taxi is the more reliable and appropriate choice.
Generally yes. The terrain around Masjid al-Nabawi is flatter than Makkah's surrounding hillside districts. The mosque's accessible entrances are well-managed. Our drivers know which Nabawi entrances are most accessible for elderly pilgrims and can advise on vehicle drop-off points near the relevant gates.
Masjid Dhul Hulayfah — known as Bir Ali or Abyar Ali — is the Miqat point for pilgrims travelling from Madinah toward Makkah. It is approximately 9 km south of Madinah city. For pilgrims intending to perform Umrah upon arriving in Makkah, this is where you enter the state of Ihram. The stop is included free on all Madinah to Makkah bookings. Full Miqat guide →
For standard routes, same-day booking is often possible. For Ramadan season, book 4–6 weeks ahead — demand is at its highest in the final ten nights. For Badr Ziyarat and Wadi-e-Jinn full-day tours, 48 hours minimum notice is recommended to ensure vehicle allocation.
