Exact Distance from Makkah Train Station to Haram

Alright, let’s get specific.

Haramain Train Station Makkah to Masjid al-Haram: 2.8 kilometers.

Not “about 3 km.” Not “around 2-3 km.” Exactly 2.8 km from the station exit to the main Haram gates (King Abdul Aziz Gate specifically, which is closest).

How long does it take?

6 to 8 minutes by taxi under normal traffic.

Peak times? 10 to 15 minutes. What are peak times? Right before major prayers—especially Maghrib and Isha. Everyone heading to Haram at once. Traffic gets thick.

Early morning (after Fajr around 6-7 AM)? You’ll make it in 5-6 minutes. Roads are empty. Smooth drive.

The route is straightforward. Exit the train station, get on Ibrahim Al Khalil Road, head straight toward Haram. That’s it. No complicated turns.

Our drivers do this route dozens of times daily. They know which lane moves faster. Which gate you want based on where you’re trying to enter Haram. Small details that save you 5-10 minutes of walking inside.

Exact Taxi Fares from Makkah Train Station to Haram (All Vehicles)

Here’s where we give you EXACT prices. Not estimates. Not “starting from” games. The actual price you’ll pay.

Sedan (Toyota Camry) – 15 SAR

Capacity: 1-4 passengers
Luggage: 2-3 medium suitcases in trunk
Exact Fare: 15 SAR fixed

Perfect for solo travelers or couples. Small family with one or two kids works too. Clean, comfortable, air-conditioned. Gets you from station to Haram in 6-8 minutes.

Hyundai Sonata – 15 SAR

Capacity: 1-4 passengers
Luggage: 2-3 medium suitcases
Exact Fare: 15 SAR fixed

Same as the Camry basically. Comfortable sedan. Good for small groups. If you’re traveling light, this works great.

GMC Yukon XL – 20 SAR

Capacity: 5-6 passengers
Luggage: 4-5 suitcases
Exact Fare: 20 SAR fixed

Bigger families need this. Got 5-6 people? Kids? More luggage? The Yukon XL gives you space. SUV comfort. Everyone gets a proper seat—not cramped in the middle.

Trunk fits more bags. Important when you’re carrying Zamzam containers, shopping from Makkah, everyone’s suitcases.

Staria / H1 Van – 20 SAR

Capacity: 7 passengers
Luggage: 5-6 suitcases
Exact Fare: 20 SAR fixed

Seven-person families, this is your vehicle. Modern van. Comfortable seats. Good AC (matters even on a 6-minute drive when it’s 40°C outside).

Same price as the Yukon but fits one more person. If you’re exactly 7 people, this works better than trying to squeeze into an SUV.

Hiace (Large Van) – 25 SAR

Capacity: 8-10 passengers
Luggage: 7-8 suitcases
Exact Fare: 25 SAR fixed

Bigger groups. Extended family traveling together. Friends doing Umrah as a group. The Hiace handles it.

Toyota Hiace is reliable. These vans do this route constantly. Drivers know exactly how to pack luggage efficiently in the back.

Split 10 ways? Everyone pays 2.50 SAR each. Ridiculously cheap for private transport.

Coaster (Mini Bus) – 45 SAR

Capacity: 11-18 passengers
Luggage: 15+ suitcases in undercarriage
Exact Fare: 45 SAR fixed

Large tour groups. School trips. Big family reunions. Community Umrah groups. The Coaster is basically a small bus.

Comfortable seats. Overhead storage. Undercarriage luggage compartment for all the bags.

Per person for 18 people? 2.50 SAR each. Absolutely the cheapest way to move a large group privately from train station to Haram.

Complete Fare Comparison (All Vehicles Side-by-Side)

Why we’re cheaper:

Simple. We don’t operate from expensive station offices paying high rent. No commission to middlemen. Direct booking. Lower overhead means lower prices for you.

And we’d rather have steady customers at fair prices than squeeze every riyal out of one trip.

Taxi from Masjid al-Haram to Haramain Train Station (Return Trip)

Same route. Reverse direction. Same prices.

All Fares Identical:

• Sedan/Sonata: 15 SAR
• GMC Yukon: 20 SAR
• Staria/H1: 20 SAR
• Hiace: 25 SAR
• Coaster: 45 SAR

Pickup Points at Haram:

Tell us which gate you’re exiting from. King Abdul Aziz Gate? King Fahd Gate? Umrah Gate? We’ll have the driver waiting at the closest pickup spot.

This matters. Haram’s massive. If you exit at King Fahd Gate and your taxi’s waiting at Umrah Gate, you’re walking 15 minutes through crowds just to reach your car.

Our drivers coordinate. You tell us which gate. They’re there. No confusion.

Best Time to Leave Haram for Train Station:

Check your train departure time. Leave 30-40 minutes before. Yeah, the drive’s only 6-8 minutes, but you need time to:

1. Get through Haram exit crowds (5-10 min)
2. Find your taxi (2-3 min)
3. Drive to station (6-8 min)
4. Check in at station (10-15 min before train leaves)

Don’t cut it close. Missing your train to Madinah or Jeddah creates problems. Next train might be hours away.

Book our Makkah to Madinah taxi service if you prefer road travel instead of train.

How to Book Taxi from Makkah Train Station to Haram

Dead simple process.

Option 1: Book Before You Arrive

WhatsApp or online booking before your train even reaches Makkah.

Tell us:

• Train arrival time
• How many passengers
• How much luggage

We confirm. Send driver details. When your train pulls into Haramain Station Makkah, driver’s already waiting at the exit. Holding sign with your name. Loads your bags. 6 minutes later you’re at Haram.

Option 2: Book on Arrival

Get off train. Exit station. Open WhatsApp. Message us.

Takes 3-5 minutes for nearest driver to reach the station pickup point. You wait in shaded area. Driver arrives. Done.

Option 3: Call/WhatsApp at Station

Call our number. WhatsApp message. “I’m at Haramain Station, need taxi to Haram, [number] passengers.”

We dispatch immediately.

Payment:

Most people pay cash to driver at the end. We also accept bank transfer if you prefer paying ahead. Your call.

Price is fixed at booking. No “oh actually it’s more” surprises when you arrive.

Makkah Train Station to Haram Bus (Free Shuttle)

Yeah, there’s a free shuttle bus from Haramain Station to Haram.

The Reality:

Cost: Free
Time: 15-25 minutes (longer than taxi because it makes multiple stops)
Schedule: Every 20-30 minutes
Luggage: Allowed but you’re hauling it on/off yourself

When the bus makes sense:

• You’re solo
• Traveling super light (one small bag)
• Not in a hurry
• Don’t mind waiting for the next bus

When it doesn’t:

• You’ve got family and luggage
• You’re tired from train ride
• You want to reach hotel/Haram quickly
• You’ve got elderly parents or kids

For a family of 4? The bus is free, but our 15 SAR taxi gets you there faster, door-to-door, with all your luggage loaded. That 15 SAR saves you 15-20 minutes and a lot of hassle.

Your time has value too.

Can You Use Uber in Makkah?

Yes. Uber and Careem both work in Makkah, including the train station to Haram route.

Typical Uber/Careem Price: 12-20 SAR

Sometimes cheaper than us (12-15 SAR during off-peak). Sometimes more expensive (18-25 SAR during surge pricing).

The Catch:

Surge pricing hits during peak times. Train just arrived with 500 passengers. Everyone’s opening Uber app at once. Surge kicks in. Suddenly that 12 SAR ride is 22 SAR.

Our price? 15 SAR. Always. Peak time, off-peak, doesn’t matter.

Also and this happens some Uber drivers cancel on short trips. They’d rather grab a longer ride (Makkah to Jeddah Airport, 70-90 SAR) than a short station-to-Haram trip.

Pre-booking with us means confirmed driver. No cancellations. No surge games.

Is It Cheaper to Book Taxi in Advance?

Yes.

Here’s why.

Pre-booked (our service):

• Fixed 15 SAR (sedan)
• Guaranteed vehicle
• Driver waiting when you arrive
• No negotiation

At the station taxi stand:

• Drivers quote 20-25 SAR
• You negotiate (maybe get to 18-20 SAR)
• Might not be the vehicle type you want
• You’re bargaining when you’re tired

Uber at arrival:

• Could be 12 SAR (if no surge)
• Could be 22 SAR (if surge hits)
• Might get cancelled on
• Waiting time varies

Pre-booking eliminates uncertainty. You know exactly what you’re paying. Driver’s confirmed. You’re not dealing with any of this when you’re exhausted from travel.
