## 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.
