Route and travel time
Central Makkah to central Jeddah is about 80 km, usually 60–75 minutes. Your driver chooses between the Haramain Expressway and the old Makkah road depending on your Jeddah destination and traffic.
Traffic is usually heavier when leaving central Makkah after the main prayers, on Thursday evenings, and at Jeddah's entrances at the end of holidays. If you have a fixed appointment, tell us and we'll suggest the right departure time.
One way or return
Book one way, a same-day return with the driver waiting during your appointment or visit, or a return on another day. Waiting time is priced by duration and the full price is agreed before the trip.
