When I planned my Umrah journey, one of the biggest concerns I had was transportation. As a pilgrim, my main focus was on prayers and rituals, but I also needed reliable transport to move between cities and visit nearby places. After searching online and reading recommendations, I chose Umrah Taxi, and my experience with them turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip.

I used their Jeddah to Makkah taxi service as well as their taxi from Makkah to Taif, and in this review, I’ll share my experience in detail.

Booking Experience – Easy and Stress-Free

Before my flight, I contacted Umrah Taxi to arrange transportation. The process was quick and professional. They asked for my flight details, the number of passengers, luggage requirements, and the kind of vehicle I wanted.

What impressed me was how clearly they explained everything, including the fare. The price for the Jeddah to Makkah taxi was fixed, which gave me relief knowing there wouldn’t be any hidden charges later.

Booking with them felt organized and secure, unlike the uncertainty of finding random taxis after arrival.

My Journey with Jeddah to Makkah Taxi

When I landed at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, I was tired and a little anxious about reaching Makkah quickly. To my surprise, the driver from Umrah Taxi was already waiting for me at arrivals. He held a sign with my name, making it very easy to find him among the crowd.

The driver greeted me politely and helped with my bags. The vehicle was spotless, air-conditioned, and spacious enough for my family and luggage. After a long flight, the comfort of the car felt like a blessing.

The trip from Jeddah to Makkah usually takes around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic. Our driver chose the best route and drove safely at a steady speed. Unlike many taxi drivers who rush or drive recklessly, this driver focused on safety and comfort.

During the ride, I was able to relax and prepare mentally for the sacred journey ahead. Reaching my hotel in Makkah without any stress was one of the best parts of my arrival.

Daily Transport in Makkah

During my stay in Makkah, I also used Umrah Taxi for local trips. Whether it was moving between my hotel and Masjid al-Haram or short trips to shopping areas, the service was always on time and reliable.

The drivers were familiar with the crowded streets and busy times, helping me avoid unnecessary delays. In a city as busy as Makkah, having a professional taxi service really made a difference.

Exploring Taif – Taxi from Makkah to Taif

One of the most memorable parts of my journey was visiting Taif, a beautiful city in the mountains near Makkah. I had always wanted to see the cool weather, gardens, and historic sites of Taif. For this trip, I booked a taxi from Makkah to Taif with Umrah Taxi.

The driver arrived at my hotel on time, loaded our luggage, and made sure everyone was comfortable before starting the journey. The road from Makkah to Taif winds through scenic mountains, and it usually takes about 2 to 3 hours.

What I loved most was how carefully the driver navigated the mountain roads. He drove steadily, ensuring the ride was safe and enjoyable. Along the way, we enjoyed breathtaking views and even stopped at a few scenic points for pictures.

Once in Taif, the driver guided us to some of the city’s famous attractions:

• Shubra Palace – a historic building reflecting Islamic architecture.
  
  

• Al Rudaf Park – a beautiful green space perfect for relaxation.
  
  

• Taif Rose Gardens – known for their unique fragrance and beauty.
  
  

• Local markets where we enjoyed shopping for souvenirs.
  
  

The trip to Taif was more than just transportation—it felt like a guided journey. The driver patiently waited at each location, allowing us to take our time without feeling rushed.

Professionalism and Respectful Service

Throughout my journey, one thing I appreciated the most was the professionalism of Umrah Taxi’s drivers. They were always polite, respectful, and punctual. From offering a warm greeting to handling luggage with care, their attitude made me feel like a valued guest.

Another highlight was their patience. In both Makkah and Taif, they never rushed us. Whether it was waiting for us to complete shopping or giving us extra time at ziyarat sites, they always showed respect for our needs.

This kind of service is rare and something I will always remember.

Comfort and Vehicle Options

Traveling with family means comfort becomes a top priority. Luckily, Umrah Taxi had multiple vehicle options. For smaller groups, they offered modern cars, while for larger families and groups, they had spacious vans available.

Our vehicles were always clean, air-conditioned, and well-maintained. Long drives, like the one from Makkah to Taif, felt easy because of the comfortable seating and smooth ride.

Transparent Pricing – No Hidden Charges

One of the biggest worries for any pilgrim is being overcharged for taxis. Many people warned me about random drivers who ask for extra money at the end of the ride. Thankfully, Umrah Taxi was nothing like that.

From the beginning, they provided clear fares for the Jeddah to Makkah taxi and the taxi from Makkah to Taif. The prices were reasonable, fair, and exactly as promised. There were no hidden charges or last-minute surprises.

This honesty made me trust the company even more.

Peace of Mind Throughout the Journey

The biggest benefit of using Umrah Taxi was the peace of mind it gave me. From the moment I booked to the end of my trip, I never had to worry about transportation.

Their Jeddah to Makkah taxi service made my arrival smooth, and the taxi from Makkah to Taif allowed me to explore one of the most beautiful cities near Makkah without stress. Knowing that transportation was fully handled allowed me to focus on my prayers and enjoy my trip.
