Intercity travel
Compare the available train or road arrangements, station transfers, baggage rules and total travel time.
Places of purpose
Makkah & Madinah.
Two sacred cities, each with its own rhythm. Give yourself the time and practical preparation to be present in both.
The heart of your pilgrimage
Makkah.
At the centre of your journey is Masjid al-Haram. Planning the small details of your stay can make more space for worship and reflection.
- Ask for the actual walking route from your hotel to the mosque
- Consider busy periods, climate and the mobility needs of your group
- Keep a clear meeting point and the hotel address with you
- Confirm airport transfers and any intercity connections
A city of connection
Madinah.
Plan your time around Masjid an-Nabawi with a comfortable pace, thoughtful accommodation and time for rest.
- Check your hotel's route and proximity to the entrances you expect to use
- Review current official arrangements for visiting the Rawdah
- Agree meeting points and contact arrangements with your companions
- Confirm any visits and transfers separately in your itinerary
Between the two cities
Consider the journey,
not just the destination.
Transport options, timings and luggage arrangements should be confirmed for your actual itinerary.
A comfortable pace
Discuss step-free access, walking distances and assistance requirements before agreeing accommodation.
Your stay
Ask for written hotel details. Destination photographs on this website do not represent a confirmed hotel.
Make room for both cities.
Discuss the balance of your stay and the details that matter to you.
