Escape the heat with a private day trip to Taif, the cool mountain city above Makkah. Drive the Al Hada road, visit Masjid Abdullah ibn Abbas, the rose farms and fruit markets, and return to your hotel the same day.
High in the Sarawat mountains, Taif is where the people of Makkah have escaped the summer heat for centuries. It is also a city with deep roots in the Seerah: the Prophet ï·º travelled to Taif to call its people to Islam, and his cousin Abdullah ibn Abbas (RA) is buried here.
Our Taif tour from Makkah is a private day trip at your own pace, with a fixed fare that includes the return journey. The Makkah to Taif taxi fare starts from 370 SAR for the whole vehicle, and we also run the trip from Jeddah. See all fares below, or our full Umrah taxi pricing for every route.

Highlights most pilgrims include on their day in Taif.
A relaxed day out in three steps.
A private Taif day trip from your Makkah hotel, with return, starts from 370 SAR in a Toyota Camry for up to 4 passengers. A Hyundai Staria is 475 SAR, a Toyota Hiace 550 SAR, a GMC Yukon XL 750 SAR, a Toyota Coaster 850 SAR and a 44-seat Yutong bus 1,000 SAR. The fare is fixed and includes the return journey.
A Taif day trip from Jeddah, with return, starts from 550 SAR in a Camry. A Staria is 600 SAR, a Hiace 850 SAR, a GMC Yukon XL 1,000 SAR, a Coaster 1,200 SAR and a Yutong bus 1,500 SAR.
All our fares are per vehicle, not per person. The price covers everyone travelling in the vehicle, so a family of four in a Camry pays 370 SAR in total from Makkah.
Taif is roughly 90 km from Makkah by the Al Hada mountain road, and the drive usually takes around 1.5 hours each way, depending on traffic.
Most pilgrims spend around 6 to 8 hours on the full day trip, including the drive both ways and stops at the sites and markets. Tell us your plans when you book and we will suggest a start time.
Yes. Qarn al-Manazil, at As-Sayl al-Kabir on the Taif road, is the Miqat for travellers coming from Taif. If you want to perform another Umrah, tell us when you book and your driver will stop there so you can enter ihram before returning to Makkah.
Taif is pleasant for most of the year because of its altitude, and it is a popular escape from the heat of Makkah in summer. If you want to see the rose farms, visit in spring during the harvest season.
