Al-Hada road or Al-Sail road?
Makkah and Taif are about 90 km apart via the Al-Hada mountain road; the drive usually takes 75–90 minutes. Al-Hada road is one of the most scenic in the Kingdom, with hairpin bends and viewpoints, and arrives straight into the Al-Hada resort area.
The alternative is the Al-Sail road — a little longer but easier and less steep, used when Al-Hada road is closed for maintenance or when your destination is in north Taif. Your driver picks the best road for your destination and road conditions.

Full-day trip from Makkah to Taif

Then return to your Makkah hotel in the evening. Full-day trips are priced by hours and stops.
