When planning a trip from Jeddah to Makkah, whether for Umrah, Hajj, or a business visit, comfort, safety, and punctuality matter the most. The journey between the two holy cities isn’t just about getting from one point to another — it’s about starting your spiritual or personal experience smoothly.

At Elite Travels & Tours, we understand that every traveler deserves a reliable, affordable, and stress-free Jeddah to Makkah taxi service. With years of experience serving pilgrims and tourists across Saudi Arabia, we’ve built our reputation as one of the most trusted transportation providers in the Kingdom.

Understanding the Jeddah to Makkah Route

The distance from Jeddah to Makkah is approximately 85 kilometers, which typically takes 1 hour 15 minutes by car, depending on traffic conditions and your starting point.
