After Umrah, off to the coast or back to work
People take this trip for different reasons: a KAEC employee who did Umrah over the weekend and is heading home, a family that has finished their rites and wants a few quiet days by the sea before flying out, or a visitor with a meeting there. Makkah to King Abdullah Economic City is about 180 km, heading west towards Jeddah and then north along the coast.
Mishwar Al Haramain collects you from your Makkah hotel and drives you straight to your KAEC address. The fare is for the whole car. The route is not on our published fare list, so we send you a fixed price on WhatsApp before you book, and you pay the driver on arrival.
Leaving Makkah: practical tips
- Avoid the post-prayer rush: streets around the Haram fill up after each prayer, so choose a time away from those if you can.
- Agree a precise meeting point: some hotels near the Haram have entrances on streets closed to cars at certain times, so fix a clear spot with the driver.
- Tell us your bag count: especially if you are staying in KAEC for a while.
A stop in Jeddah? No problem
Since the road passes Jeddah, some passengers ask to stop there for a short visit or some shopping. Mention it when booking so it is included in the fare. If you want to spend longer in Jeddah, our Jeddah taxi service may suit you once you are there.
