## Good to know

Put on your Ihram before the flight and make your intention before the plane crosses the Miqat; the crew usually announces it.

The Haramain high-speed train also links Makkah, Jeddah and Madinah. It is quick, but you still need transfers between the stations and your hotels, and luggage limits apply. A private transfer takes you door to door.
