Your driver takes you to a hotel, a family home or your workplace there. On the way he stops once so you can pray and once so you can eat. It fits the day your Umrah is over and the coast is your next stop. Going west from Madinah to the coast, a taxi to Yanbu starts at SAR 450 for the whole vehicle, one way. The road is about 240 km. Allow 3 to 4 hours from your hotel lobby to your Yanbu door. The driver stops once to pray and once to eat, inside the fare. You pay for your own food. ![An empty desert highway near Tabuk, in black and white](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/fb-desert-road-tabuk-1024x768.webp) *A desert highway near Tabuk, in black and white.* ## Yanbu in three parts Yanbu is a governorate of Madinah Province on the Red Sea coast. Saudipedia counts it as the second largest in the province by number of people. Its towns fall into three parts. - **Yanbu al-Bahr.** The old town by the sea, in the north. Its history goes back about 2,500 years. Its old port was a stop on trade routes long ago. - **Yanbu Industrial City.** It lies on the coast, south of Yanbu al-Bahr. It is home to factories and oil refineries. Saudipedia calls its port the largest on the Red Sea coast for crude oil exports. - **Yanbu al-Nakhl.** A small village in the east of the governorate. It is known for date palm farms and water springs. Your fare covers an address in Yanbu al-Bahr or Yanbu Industrial City. For Yanbu al-Nakhl or a place further out, send us a map pin and a person prices it in writing. ## Fares from Madinah to Yanbu, per vehicle You pay one price for the vehicle, not for each seat. It covers the one way drive from your Madinah hotel to your Yanbu address, with both breaks, in Saudi Riyal. | 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 450 | | [Hyundai Sonata](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/hyundai-sonata/) | Sedan | 4 seats | 2 large cases plus 2 hand bags | SAR 450 | | [Hyundai Staria](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/hyundai-staria/) | Van | 7 seats | 6 large cases plus 4 hand bags | SAR 600 | | [GMC Yukon XL](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/gmc-yukon/) | SUV | 7 seats | 6 large cases plus 4 hand bags | SAR 850 | | [Toyota Hiace](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/toyota-hiace/) | Van | 11 seats | 10 large cases plus 10 hand bags | SAR 700 | | [Toyota Coaster](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/toyota-coaster/) | Minibus | 19 seats | 15 large cases plus 19 hand bags | SAR 1,200 | | [Coach](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/coach/) | Coach | 44 seats | 44 large cases plus 44 hand bags | SAR 1,300 | Whole vehicle, one direction unless return is marked.

A Camry or a Sonata carries up to 4 people with 2 large cases and 2 hand bags. With six or seven people, pick the Staria or the GMC Yukon XL. Each has 7 seats and takes 6 large cases with 4 hand bags, and the Yukon XL rides higher. The Hiace seats 11 and holds 10 large cases plus 10 hand bags. Work teams and big families can share the 19 seat Coaster. The 44 seat Coach takes a large case and a hand bag per seat. Bringing a wheelchair? Fold it, and the boot of a Staria or a Hiace takes it ([wheelchairs](https://umrahonline.taxi/faq/#luggage-and-comfort)). ## Which vehicle fits? 5 of 7 vehicle classes take 4 people and 4 large cases, Madinah to Yanbu. - Van: **Hyundai Staria**, 7 seats, 6 large cases, 4 hand bags, **SAR 600** - SUV: **GMC Yukon XL**, 7 seats, 6 large cases, 4 hand bags, **SAR 850** - Van: **Toyota Hiace**, 11 seats, 10 large cases, 10 hand bags, **SAR 700** - Minibus: **Toyota Coaster**, 19 seats, 15 large cases, 19 hand bags, **SAR 1,200** - Coach: **Coach**, 44 seats, 44 large cases, 44 hand bags, **SAR 1,300** Too small for this party: Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata. ## Leaving your Madinah hotel ![Street beside a hotel near Masjid an-Nabawi, Madinah, with people walking](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/v2-D7-d7-pexels38989076-1024x576.webp) *Street beside a hotel near Masjid an-Nabawi, Madinah, with people walking.* Come down to the lobby at the time we agree, because that is where the driver looks for you. If you run late, half an hour of waiting costs nothing ([waiting rules](https://umrahonline.taxi/faq/#cancelling-and-changing)). At the Yanbu end, give the street name of your hotel, home or office, or drop a pin on the map. Still in Madinah for a few days? A [Madinah taxi](https://umrahonline.taxi/madinah-taxi/) covers the airport, the train station and ziyarat (visits to the city's historic places). ![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 Yanbu drive 1. **Share the Yanbu address.** A map pin works best for homes and work sites. 2. **List the travellers.** Say how many adults, children and large cases. 3. **Agree the fare.** The price comes back in writing on WhatsApp. 4. **Be in the lobby on time.** The driver's name and number reach you first. Message us on WhatsApp, at any hour. ## The drive west to the coast 1. **Hotel door in Madinah.** The cases go in the boot, and you set off west. 2. **Across to the sea.** There are about 240 km of road between the two cities. 3. **Two breaks.** One is to pray and one is for food. Say when you would like them. 4. **Arrival in Yanbu.** The driver brings you to the door you gave us. ![A car on a desert road below a mountain, seen from the air](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/fb-hero-poster-1024x576.webp) *A car on a desert road below a mountain, seen from the air.* Door to door, plan on 3 to 4 hours, with both breaks counted. If you must be in Yanbu by a set time, for a work shift or a check-in, tell us when you book. ![Masjid an-Nabawi and the Green Dome at golden hour](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/fb-nabawi-golden-1024x682.webp) ### Yanbu or Badr, both west of Madinah Both towns lie west of Madinah, inside Madinah Province. Saudipedia says Badr Governorate borders Yanbu to the south. The [Madinah to Badr day trip](https://umrahonline.taxi/transfers/madinah-to-badr/) brings you back to your Madinah hotel the same day. The Yanbu drive is one way, and the ride ends at your Yanbu address. Pick Badr to see the battle sites and come back. Pick Yanbu when you are moving on to the coast. ## Inside the Yanbu fare - Your hotel lobby in Madinah as the start - An address in Yanbu al-Bahr or Yanbu Industrial City as the end - One break to pray and one to eat (you buy your own food) - Fuel, road tolls and parking Children ride in a free child seat if we know their ages ([child seats](https://umrahonline.taxi/faq/#luggage-and-comfort)). You hand the fare to the driver in Yanbu, after the ride ([how to pay](https://umrahonline.taxi/faq/#payment)). If your plans change, read [changing or cancelling](https://umrahonline.taxi/faq/#cancelling-and-changing). ![A suitcase and a bag beside a row of terminal seats](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/fb-suitcase-seats-1024x682.webp) *A suitcase and a bag beside a row of terminal seats.* ### Tips for the road to Yanbu ### One last prayer in Madinah If you want one more prayer at the Prophet's Mosque, set the pick-up time after it. ### Sea air Saudipedia says the air in Yanbu can reach 94 percent humidity in September. It can feel wet and heavy when you step out of the car. ### Keep things close The cases ride in the boot, so keep medicine and phone chargers in your hand bag. ## Madinah to Yanbu taxi: your questions ### What is the Madinah to Yanbu taxi fare?
