Badr is the town where the Battle of Badr was fought, a key battle in the early years of Islam. At Badr you visit Masjid al-Arish, look at the martyrs' cemetery from outside its wall and walk out to the battlefield. Plan for about 5 hours from your hotel and back. A day trip from Madinah to Badr and back costs from SAR 400 for the whole vehicle. Badr is about 150 km from Madinah, around 2 hours each way. The fare includes up to 45 minutes at Badr and the drive back to your hotel, about 5 hours in all. ## What you see at Badr Badr is a town in Madinah Province, south west of the city of Madinah. The places linked to the battle lie close to each other, and your driver takes you from one to the next. ![Masjid al-Arish at Badr, a white mosque with twin minarets and a dome](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/v2-badr-2-badr-2.webp) ### Masjid al-Arish It marks the place the Muslim leaders used as their base during the battle. Its name comes from the Arabic word for shade made of palm branches. ![The walled cemetery of the martyrs of Badr seen from outside, the town of Badr behind](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/v2-badr-4-badr-4-1024x683.webp) ### The martyrs' cemetery The companions who died in the battle are buried here. The gate is usually shut, so visitors look in from outside the wall. ![The plain of Badr where the battle was fought, with the low walled burial ground of the martyrs and the hills beyond](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/v2-badr-hero-badr-hero-1024x683.webp) ### The battlefield An open plain with hills around it. The martyrs' cemetery lies on this plain. ![The sand covered slope of Jabal al-Malaikah at Badr under a clear sky](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/v2-badr-1-badr-1-1024x768.webp) ### Jabal al-Malaikah Its name means the Mountain of the Angels. Going there adds a short drive of about 4 km from Masjid al-Arish, so ask for it when you book. Badr has no museum open to visitors, so the visit is outdoors. For the history and the names of each place, read the [Badr guide](https://umrahonline.taxi/ziyarat/badr/). ## Madinah to Badr and back, fares by vehicle Each fare is for the whole vehicle, in Saudi Riyal. It covers the drive there, up to 45 minutes at Badr and the drive back to Madinah. | Vehicle | Class | Seats | Luggage | Fare (whole vehicle) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Toyota Camry](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/toyota-camry/) | Sedan | 4 seats | 2 large cases plus 2 hand bags | SAR 400 | | [Hyundai Sonata](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/hyundai-sonata/) | Sedan | 4 seats | 2 large cases plus 2 hand bags | SAR 400 | | [Hyundai Staria](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/hyundai-staria/) | Van | 7 seats | 6 large cases plus 4 hand bags | SAR 450 | | [GMC Yukon XL](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/gmc-yukon/) | SUV | 7 seats | 6 large cases plus 4 hand bags | SAR 750 | | [Toyota Hiace](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/toyota-hiace/) | Van | 11 seats | 10 large cases plus 10 hand bags | SAR 600 | | [Toyota Coaster](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/toyota-coaster/) | Minibus | 19 seats | 15 large cases plus 19 hand bags | SAR 750 | | [Coach](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/coach/) | Coach | 44 seats | 44 large cases plus 44 hand bags | SAR 900 | Whole vehicle, one direction unless return is marked.

A family of five to seven sits in more comfort in the Staria. The GMC Yukon XL also has seven seats, with a higher seat for older visitors. Eleven people or fewer can share one Hiace. Mosque and travel groups take the Coaster or the Coach, so everyone stays together. ## Which vehicle fits? 5 of 7 vehicle classes take 4 people and 4 large cases, Madinah to Badr and back. - Van: **Hyundai Staria**, 7 seats, 6 large cases, 4 hand bags, **SAR 450** - SUV: **GMC Yukon XL**, 7 seats, 6 large cases, 4 hand bags, **SAR 750** - Van: **Toyota Hiace**, 11 seats, 10 large cases, 10 hand bags, **SAR 600** - Minibus: **Toyota Coaster**, 19 seats, 15 large cases, 19 hand bags, **SAR 750** - Coach: **Coach**, 44 seats, 44 large cases, 44 hand bags, **SAR 900** Too small for this party: Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata. ![A white Hyundai Staria, side view at sunset](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/fb-staria-beach-1024x682.webp) ## Who is coming - The day before, you get the driver’s name, mobile number and the car’s registration, and a photo of the car if you ask. - Drivers own their cars and hold the licence and permits Saudi rules require. - Your driver waits inside arrivals with a board showing your name. ### How to book the Badr day trip 1. **Pick a date.** Send your Madinah hotel, the date and the time you want to leave. 2. **Say who is coming.** Tell us how many people, and if anyone uses a wheelchair ([wheelchairs](https://umrahonline.taxi/faq/#luggage-and-comfort)). 3. **Get the fare in writing.** Our WhatsApp answer gives the fare and the vehicle. 4. **Pay at the end.** You pay the driver back at your hotel ([how to pay](https://umrahonline.taxi/faq/#payment)). Message us on WhatsApp, at any hour. ## How the day goes 1. **Your Madinah hotel.** The driver meets you in the lobby. An early start is best, before the day gets hot. 2. **The road west.** About 150 km and around 2 hours.

The driver tells you the amount before the extra time starts ([how extras are charged](https://umrahonline.taxi/faq/#cancelling-and-changing)). ![Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah at dusk with mountains behind](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/fb-nabawi-dusk-1024x683.webp) ### A day trip, or Badr on the way to Makkah This trip starts and ends in Madinah. You come back to the same hotel the same day. If you are leaving Madinah for Makkah, you can see Badr on the way instead. The [Madinah to Makkah taxi](https://umrahonline.taxi/transfers/madinah-to-makkah/) has a via Badr choice with its own fare. That longer drive still stops first at the miqat, the point where you must be in ihram (the Umrah state) before you reach Makkah. ## What the day trip fare covers - The drive from your Madinah hotel to Badr and back - Up to 45 minutes at Badr, with the driver waiting - Fuel, tolls and parking - A child seat, if you give us the child's age when you book ![Straight desert highway in Makkah Province under a clear blue sky](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/v3-highway-makkah-province-1024x683.webp) *A straight desert highway in Makkah Province under a clear blue sky, with power lines beside the road and trucks in the distance.* ### Tips for the Badr trip ### Water and shade The plain at Badr has very little shade. Take water and a hat. ### At the cemetery It is a burial ground. Keep your voice low and dress with care. ### Older passengers The visit is on foot over open ground, so wear good shoes. ### Other visits in Madinah Ziyarat, the visits to the historic places inside Madinah, are a tour of their own on another day. See the [Madinah ziyarat taxi](https://umrahonline.taxi/transfers/madinah-ziyarat/). ## Questions about the Badr day trip ### How much is a taxi from Madinah to Badr and back?
