Why Intercity Travel Matters for Pilgrims
During pilgrimage, travel plans can make or break your experience. Whether you need a Jeddah Airport to Makkah taxi, a Makkah to Madinah transfer, or a return trip to Jeddah Airport, choosing the right transportation ensures peace of mind and saves precious time.
Plan Your Travel Times
Knowing when to travel is as important as choosing how to travel. Here are some tips to make your journey efficient and comfortable:

- Check Expected Travel Duration: Traveling by road between Makkah and Madinah usually takes 4-5 hours. With Mashaer Fleet, you can rely on accurate travel times to keep your schedule on track.
- Consider Friday Schedules: Fridays are busy for religious services. If youβre traveling on a Friday, allow for additional time.
