Makkah to Taif Taxi Service

Taif, the cool mountain city above Makkah, is a favourite retreat for pilgrims and residents seeking respite from the heat, and the drive up is a scenic one. From Makkah to Taif is around 90 kilometres and takes roughly an hour and a half, climbing the dramatic Al Hada mountain road. We collect you from your Makkah hotel and drive you door to door to Taif.

A private car is the most comfortable way to make the ascent, with an experienced driver handling the mountain bends. Popular in the cooler months and during summer escapes, the route is used by families, pilgrims and visitors. For the reverse direction, our Taif to Makkah transfer covers the descent, and our Jeddah to Taif transfer serves arrivals from the coast.

The climb from Makkah to Taif via the Al Hada road is one of the region's most memorable drives, winding up the escarpment with sweeping views over the plains below. The mountain road rewards an experienced driver, which is exactly what a private transfer provides, so you can relax and enjoy the scenery and the cooling air as you climb.

At the top, Taif offers rose farms, fruit orchards, the cable car and the cooler highland climate. Because the fare is fixed, traffic on the ascent never changes what you pay. Our Taif taxi service covers local sightseeing once you arrive, from Al Shafa to the cable car.

The route suits pilgrims taking a break in the cooler highlands, families on a summer escape, and visitors combining Makkah with Taif's attractions. We match the vehicle to your group, with air-conditioned comfort, room for luggage, and child seats on request. Larger vehicles are available for families and groups travelling together.

Booking is quick. Share your Makkah pickup point, your Taif destination and your preferred time, and we confirm the vehicle and a fixed, all-in price before you travel. We operate 24/7.
