About the Madinah–Makkah route
The Madinah to Makkah route is the return leg of the Umrah intercity transfer and is equally important for pilgrims whose itinerary begins in Madinah. After spending time visiting Masjid an-Nabawi, Al-Baqi Cemetery, Masjid Quba, and Uhud, many pilgrims travel to Makkah to complete their Umrah rituals.
The route follows the Haramain Expressway (Route 15) south from Madinah, passing through the western coastal region before entering the Makkah Province. The rest stop is typically around the Rabigh area, roughly halfway through the ~420 km journey.
Before embarking on this journey, pilgrims intending to perform Umrah should enter the state of Ihram at the appropriate Miqat point. The Miqat for those coming from Madinah is Dhul Hulayfah (Abyar Ali), located just outside Madinah. Taxi Bhai drivers are aware of this requirement and can advise on timing accordingly.
