For Pilgrims Starting Their Umrah in Madinah
Many pilgrims choose to visit Madinah first and pray at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi before continuing on to Makkah for Umrah — a common alternative to the more typical Makkah-first route. This transfer covers that first leg: KAIA arrivals straight through to Madinah.
Because you haven't yet reached your Miqat on this itinerary, there's no need to enter Ihram for this drive — it's a comfortable, ordinary highway transfer along the coastal route north from Jeddah.
Once your Madinah visit is complete, our companion Madinah to Makkah service picks up the journey from there, including the mandatory Miqat stop at Dhul Hulaifah before continuing to Makkah.
