Quick answer: We arrange private transfers from Makkah to Madinah (about 450 km, around 4 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours, with a rest stop) in air-conditioned cars, SUVs, vans and buses with experienced drivers. Book in advance, and your driver will be waiting for you. Prices depend on the vehicle and are on request.

Good to know
Leave after Fajr or after Isha to avoid the heat and traffic; we can add Ziyarat stops such as Badr on the way.
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.
