The journey from Riyadh to Makkah
The road from Riyadh runs west on Highway 40 to Taif. Pilgrims coming from Riyadh enter Ihram at Qarn al-Manazil, the Miqat at As-Sayl al-Kabir, about an hour before Makkah. Your driver stops at the Miqat mosque so you can change, pray and make your intention.
From the Miqat it is a short drive down to Makkah. We drop you at the door of your hotel so you can go straight to the Haram for your Umrah.
