Madinah to Makkah Taxi – With Miqat Stop at Dhul Hulaifah
Travelling from Madinah to Makkah for Umrah means passing the miqat of the people of Madinah, Dhul Hulaifah (Masjid Abyar Ali), where the Prophet ﷺ himself entered ihram. Zikr Cabs picks you up from your Madinah hotel, stops at the miqat for you to bathe, change into ihram and pray, then drives you directly to your hotel in Makkah, ready for Umrah.
Every Madinah to Makkah booking with Zikr Cabs is a private ride for you and your companions only, at a fixed price agreed before you travel. Message us on WhatsApp with your date, time and number of passengers, and we will confirm your car and driver.

Good to know before your Madinah to Makkah trip
Masjid Abyar Ali has washrooms and changing areas. Many pilgrims still prefer to perform ghusl and change at their hotel, then make the niyyah at the masjid.
Because you will arrive in Makkah in ihram, choose a departure time that lets you rest a little before performing Umrah, for example leaving after Fajr.
Elderly or tired pilgrims can rest at the hotel first. Your driver will drop you as close to your hotel as access rules allow.
