Train + Taxi: Planning Your Journey

The Haramain train is excellent for Jeddah to Makkah (35 min) and Madinah to Makkah (2.5 hrs). But trains don't reach your hotel — budget a taxi on both ends:

**Jeddah station to Makkah hotel:** train (SAR 40-70) + taxi (SAR 40-60)

**Direct taxi Jeddah to Makkah:** SAR 120-150, door to door, no transfers

For groups of 3+, the direct taxi is often cheaper overall and far simpler with luggage.
