It drives about 380 km north to your address in Yanbu, a city on the Red Sea. Book it when your Umrah is done and you are heading to Yanbu for work or to see family. One vehicle and one driver take you all the way, with two stops on the road. One vehicle from your Makkah hotel to your address in Yanbu costs from SAR 700, one way. Yanbu lies north, about 380 km by road. You arrive after 4 to 5 hours, counting a prayer stop and a meal stop. Both stops come with the fare.

Its old part, Yanbu al-Bahr, faces the sea. In the Islamic era, Yanbu grew into a major trading port, Saudipedia says. Caravans and ships came to it from Egypt, the Levant and North Africa. Al-Shuna Tower still stands in the old port area. It was built in 1519 and once held grain brought in by sea. The old Al-Sur district keeps the homes of Yanbu's early traders. They were built from sea stone and palm trunks. The houses have mashrabiyas, wooden screens with small openings that sit over the windows. Their wooden doors are a style the town is known for. Your taxi stops at your Yanbu address. Seeing the old town is up to you, at a time that suits you. ## What each Yanbu fare pays for Every fare is for a single vehicle and all the seats in it. It runs one way, from your Makkah hotel to your address in Yanbu. It is in Saudi Riyal, and both rest stops are part of it. | 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 700 | | [Hyundai Sonata](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/hyundai-sonata/) | Sedan | 4 seats | 2 large cases plus 2 hand bags | SAR 700 | | [Hyundai Staria](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/hyundai-staria/) | Van | 7 seats | 6 large cases plus 4 hand bags | SAR 900 | | [GMC Yukon XL](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/gmc-yukon/) | SUV | 7 seats | 6 large cases plus 4 hand bags | SAR 1,350 | | [Toyota Hiace](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/toyota-hiace/) | Van | 11 seats | 10 large cases plus 10 hand bags | SAR 1,150 | | [Toyota Coaster](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/toyota-coaster/) | Minibus | 19 seats | 15 large cases plus 19 hand bags | SAR 1,900 | | [Coach](https://umrahonline.taxi/our-fleet/coach/) | Coach | 44 seats | 44 large cases plus 44 hand bags | SAR 2,050 | Whole vehicle, one direction unless return is marked.

The fare includes 30 minutes of waiting there ([waiting](https://umrahonline.taxi/faq/#cancelling-and-changing)). Around prayer times, cars cannot always get close to hotels beside the Haram, the Grand Mosque. If that happens, the driver tells you on WhatsApp where he has stopped, and you walk the short way to him. The drop-off can be anywhere in Yanbu al-Bahr or Yanbu Industrial City, for one fare. Rides around Makkah before you leave, such as to the train station, are on [Makkah taxi](https://umrahonline.taxi/makkah-taxi/). ![A white GMC Yukon](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/fb-yukon-white-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. ### Booking from Makkah 1. **Name your Makkah hotel.** The hotel name is enough for the driver to find you. 2. **Size up the group.** Count adults, children and large cases, and Zamzam too. 3. **Approve the price.** It comes on WhatsApp in writing, with the vehicle named. 4. **Note the driver's phone.** We send it to you ahead of the trip. Message us on WhatsApp, at any hour. ## North from Makkah to Yanbu 1. **Check-out done.** Settle your hotel bill first, then meet the driver in the lobby. 2. **Heading north.** About 380 km lies between your hotel and Yanbu. 3. **Rest and food.** Stop one is for prayer, stop two for a meal, at times you choose. 4. **The Yanbu door.** You step out at the address you sent us, and your cases come out with you. ![Curving desert highway near Tayma, northern Saudi Arabia](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/v2-X_tayma-intercity-desert-road-tayma-01-1024x576.webp) *Curving desert highway near Tayma, northern Saudi Arabia.* Plan on 4 to 5 hours from lobby to door, with both stops inside that time.

If you also want time in Madinah, split the trip in two. First comes the [Makkah to Madinah taxi](https://umrahonline.taxi/transfers/makkah-to-madinah/). Then, when you are ready, go on with the [Madinah to Yanbu taxi](https://umrahonline.taxi/transfers/madinah-to-yanbu/). The direct drive is one trip on one day. The two step plan adds Madinah to your travels, with a night or more there in between. ## Included in the Makkah to Yanbu fare - Pick-up from your hotel in Makkah - Drop-off in Yanbu al-Bahr or Yanbu Industrial City - A prayer stop and a meal stop on the road (you buy your own food) - Fuel, tolls and car parks - Zamzam and cases, as far as the vehicle class allows Give each child's age and a child seat comes free ([child seats](https://umrahonline.taxi/faq/#luggage-and-comfort)). Nothing is paid up front, and the driver takes payment in Yanbu ([how to pay](https://umrahonline.taxi/faq/#payment)). Need a new date? [Cancelling and changing](https://umrahonline.taxi/faq/#cancelling-and-changing) has the rules. ![Rows of suitcases standing together](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/fb-groups-cases-1024x683.webp) *Rows of suitcases standing together.* ### Tips before you leave Makkah ### Pick-up away from prayer time Roads by the Haram may shut near a prayer. A pick-up time well clear of one is easier for everyone. ### Zamzam in the boot Each container needs boot space. Add them to your case count when you book. ### Yanbu weather Saudipedia gives summer highs of up to 49 degrees Celsius in Yanbu, and winter lows of about 12. A light jacket helps on winter evenings. ## What people ask about the Makkah to Yanbu taxi ### What will a taxi from Makkah to Yanbu cost us?
