Makkah Ziyarat Taxi — Private Car Between the Holy Sites
A Makkah Ziyarat taxi gives your family or group one private car and driver for the day, taking you between Jabal Al-Noor, Jabal Thawr, Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat and waiting at each stop. The fare is agreed before you book.
A Makkah Ziyarat taxi is a private car and driver booked for a half-day or full-day. It takes you between the Makkah sites you choose, waits at each stop, and collects you from your hotel. It is a transport service, not a guided tour.

Makkah Ziyarat Sites You Can Visit by Car
You choose the sites. Locations are approximate and relative to Masjid Al-Haram.
Jabal Al-Noor (Cave of Hira)
North of Makkah
The mountain above the Cave of Hira. The car waits at the base; the climb is on foot and takes time, so allow for it.
Jabal Thawr (Cave of Thawr)
South of Makkah
The mountain with the Cave of Thawr. The car waits at the base.
Mina
About 8 km east of the Haram
The tent valley used during the days of Hajj. Outside the Hajj season it can be visited by car.
Muzdalifah
Between Mina and Arafat
The open area between Mina and Arafat.
Arafat & Jabal Al-Rahmah
East of Makkah
The plain of Arafat and the Mount of Mercy (Jabal Al-Rahmah).
Jannat Al-Mu'alla
North of the Haram
The historic cemetery of Makkah. Visiting rules are set by the authorities — your driver drops you at the nearest permitted point.
Half-Day or Full-Day Makkah Ziyarat?
Most visitors book a half-day. Choose a full day if the group is large, has elders, or wants a slow pace.
| Option | Best for | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Half-day Ziyarat | Most visitors: the main sites in one loop | A block of hours with waiting at each stop; start time agreed with you |
| Full-day Ziyarat | Larger groups, elders who need long rests, or every site at a relaxed pace | A full day with the same car and driver, including a rest or meal break |
| Ziyarat plus airport or Madinah | Leaving Makkah the same day | Quoted together with the transfer; ask for both in one request |

How the Ziyarat Car Service Works
A Route You Choose
Pick the sites and the order, or let us suggest an order that keeps the driving short. Skip any site you have already visited.
Waiting Time at Every Stop
The car waits while you visit, so elders and children are never left looking for a ride between sites.
Hotel Pickup & Drop-Off
Pickup and return at your Makkah hotel in Aziziyah, Ajyad or the Haram area — at the nearest permitted point near the Haram.
Transport, Not Guidance
We provide the car and driver. We do not provide religious guidance; bring your own guide or guidebook if you want one.

Makkah Ziyarat Taxi FAQs
How do I book a Makkah Ziyarat taxi?
Send your hotel, date, number of passengers, and whether you want a half day or a full day, by the form or on WhatsApp. We reply with the vehicle and one fixed fare before anything is booked.
Which sites can the Makkah Ziyarat car visit?
Most requests include Jabal Al-Noor (Cave of Hira), Jabal Thawr, Mina, Muzdalifah, Arafat with Jabal Al-Rahmah, and Jannat Al-Mu'alla. You choose the sites; the car takes you to each and waits.
How long does a Makkah Ziyarat tour by car take?
A half-day is usually enough for the main sites. Time at each stop depends on you — climbing Jabal Al-Noor on foot, for example, takes much longer than a photo stop. A full day gives a relaxed pace.
Can elderly parents or young children join?
Yes. Tell us who is travelling and we choose a vehicle with easier boarding and plan longer waiting stops. Some sites involve steps or climbs, so plan which stops they will actually get out at.
Does the driver explain the sites or give religious guidance?
No. The service is transport: the car, the driver, the waiting time. We do not provide religious guidance or a guide; bring your own guidebook or guide if you want one.
Can you pick us up from our Makkah hotel?
Yes — from hotels in Aziziyah, Ajyad, around the Haram and other Makkah districts. Near the Haram the car may need to meet you at the nearest permitted point; the driver tells you where.
Which vehicle should I choose for a family or group?
A sedan fits one to three people. A GMC or full-size SUV or a Hyundai Staria suits families. A Hiace van or coaster suits larger groups; larger coaches are arranged on request. We confirm the vehicle against your group size when we quote.
Can I add a stop at Masjid Aisha (Tan'eem)?
Yes, as a transport stop on request. We cannot advise on religious matters — tell us where you want to stop and the car waits.
Is this a private tour or a shared bus?
Private. The car is only for your group — it is not a shared bus tour — and the fare is agreed before booking.
Can I cancel or change the booking?
Yes. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup, and changes of time or hotel can be made on WhatsApp.
