Makkah Ziyarat Taxi – Private Tour of the Historic Sites
Makkah is full of places tied to the life of the Prophet ﷺ and the rites of Hajj. A private Makkah Ziyarat with Zikr Cabs lets your family visit these sites in comfort, at your own pace, with a driver who knows the routes and the best times to go. We pick you up from your hotel, take you round the sites and bring you back in time for your next prayer at the Haram.
Every Makkah Ziyarat 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 Makkah Ziyarat trip
Climbing Jabal al-Nour to the Cave of Hira takes 1–2 hours there and back and is steep. If you plan to climb, tell us in advance so we can allow the time. Many families simply view the mountains from below.
Access to Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat may be restricted during the Hajj season. Outside Hajj, the driver can take you through all three.
Please dress modestly and bring water. For detailed religious guidance, we recommend reading about each site before your visit.

Tips for a peaceful journey
Keep your passport, Nusuk permit or visa, and your hotel booking details easy to reach. Carry water, especially in summer when temperatures in the Hijaz can pass 45°C.
