Transfers from Jeddah King Abdulaziz Airport to Makkah

About this transfer

The road from Jeddah to Makkah runs east across flat ground and then climbs into the rocky hills that surround the city. Makkah's hotels are gathered around the Masjid al-Haram, in the towers and on the slopes beside it, with others further out in the districts along the ring roads, so the drop-off address decides how the car approaches. Ask your hotel where its vehicle entrance is and have that ready for the driver. Give the flight number, count the passengers and bags, and set the pickup time from when you expect to be through passport control and baggage reclaim, with a generous margin during the pilgrimage seasons. Choose a vehicle with room for the group's luggage and, on the way home, for anything bought in the city. Check the entry rules for your passport before you travel. If the itinerary continues to Madinah, the transfer from Jeddah King Abdulaziz Airport to Madinah is on its own page. Makkah's hotels are listed on this page, and the leg from Makkah back to Jeddah for the flight home is a separate search with its own pickup time.
