Mishwar Al Haramain in brief
Mishwar Al Haramain is a private car-and-driver service based in the Ash Shubaikah district of Makkah, working mainly between Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah. The service is built around a question everyone arriving in the Kingdom for Umrah or a visit asks: how do I get from the airport to my hotel without haggling, waiting around or worrying about the price? Our answer is simple: a car booked in your name, a price you know before you fly, and a driver waiting where we agreed.
We do not claim to be bigger or older than anyone else. We try instead to do a small number of things well, and to do them on every trip.
What we do
Most of our trips fall into one of these groups:
- Airport pickups - above all at King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah and Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport in Madinah, with your name on a sign and your flight tracked.
- Intercity trips - Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah and Taif, in both directions.
- Rides within the cities - hotel to Haram, to the Haramain train stations, and to the miqat sites near Makkah.
- Ziyarat tours - in Makkah and Madinah, at a pace that suits you.
- Trips from other cities - such as Riyadh and Dammam, with the fare confirmed for each booking.
How we price
From the start we chose to charge per car, not per passenger, and to use fixed fares rather than a meter. A family of five pays the same for the family car as two people who choose the same car. We add nothing for night trips or for normal luggage.
Here is our best-known route, Jeddah Airport to Makkah, as an example:
| Car class | Passengers | Fare |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan | Up to 4 | 200 SAR |
| Family SUV / van | Up to 7 | 350 SAR |
| VIP | Up to 3 | 500 SAR |
You pay on arrival; standard bookings need no deposit. The other car classes are described on our fleet page.
How we work day to day
Booking on WhatsApp
We did not put an app, an account or a long form between you and a car. You send a message with the time, pickup point, destination and number of passengers, and we reply with the fare and a confirmation. If you prefer a form, there is one on the booking page.
Following your flight
For airport bookings we ask for your flight number because we really use it: we follow the landing time, move the driver's time with it, and give you a free hour of waiting from touchdown.
Knowing the roads of Makkah and Madinah
Reaching the central-area hotels around Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi means knowing the closures, the diversions and where cars are allowed to stop. That knowledge is a core part of what we offer, not a side detail.
Available at any hour
Planes land at three in the morning and pilgrims leave the Haram after midnight, so we take bookings and answer messages around the clock.
Who we drive
Most of our customers are Umrah pilgrims and visitors to Madinah coming from abroad, many travelling with children or with elderly parents. We also drive Jeddah and Makkah residents who need a car for a family outing or a run to the airport, and business travellers who prefer a private car with a higher level of comfort. We treat every booking as a person who wants to arrive comfortably, not as a line in a schedule.
What helps us look after you
A smooth trip starts with clear details. When you message us, it helps a great deal to know:
- Your flight number for an airport pickup, or the train time if you are arriving by rail.
- Your hotel name exactly as booked, since some Makkah and Madinah hotels have similar names or neighbouring entrances.
- How many passengers, and whether there are children, elderly travellers or a wheelchair.
- Roughly how many bags and how big, so the right car turns up first time.
If your question is not answered here, it may well be on our FAQ page.
