First you need to be in ihram, the state of Umrah. For men, that means two white cloths. People already in the city usually step just outside the Haram, the sacred area around Makkah, to put it on. No miqat, the set point for ihram on the roads into Makkah, lies inside the city. So you can book two return trips. One goes to Masjid Ayesha at Tan'eem. The other goes to Masjid Ji'ranah, also spelled Ju'ranah, a mosque some 30 km out. For a second Umrah, people staying in Makkah usually put on ihram just outside the Haram area. Masjid Ayesha at Tan'eem lies 7.5 km north of the Grand Mosque by road, and a return taxi starts at SAR 100. Masjid Ji'ranah is about 30 km away, from SAR 150. Each fare covers the whole vehicle and the wait. ## Masjid Ayesha or Ji'ranah, side by side | | Masjid Ayesha (Tan'eem) | Masjid Ji'ranah | | --- | --- | --- | | From the Grand Mosque | About 7.5 km by road | About 30 km by road | | The round trip | About 15 km | About 60 km | | Time, there and back | 45 min to 1 hr 15 | 1 hr 30 to 2 hrs | | Return fare, whole vehicle | From SAR 100 | From SAR 150 | | Wait at the mosque | 30 minutes in the fare | Time to change and pray, in the fare | Masjid Ayesha is closer, so the trip is shorter. It sits beside the Madinah road, with parking, wash rooms and shops that sell ihram cloths. Ji'ranah is further out of the city. Which of the two is right for you is a question for your scholar or group leader. We give you the ride and the wait. ![The two square minarets of Masjid Aisha at Taneem](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/v2-makkah-to-masjid-ayesha-2-makkah-to-masjid-ayesha-2-1024x768.webp) *The two square minarets of Masjid Aisha at Taneem.* ![The wide prayer hall inside Masjid Aisha at Taneem with its red carpet](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/v2-makkah-to-masjid-ayesha-3-makkah-to-masjid-ayesha-3-1024x538.webp) *The wide prayer hall inside Masjid Aisha at Taneem with its red carpet.* ![People in ihram walking along a road, seen from a distance](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/fb-ihram-walking-1024x768.webp) *People in ihram on the road.* ![Men in ihram seen from behind, facing the Kaaba in Masjid al-Haram](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/fb-ihram-behind-1024x768.webp) *Men in ihram facing the Kaaba in Masjid al-Haram, Makkah.* ![An empty road leading toward a rocky mountain peak](https://umrahonline.taxi/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/rt-road-mountain-empty-1024x842.webp) ## Is there a miqat inside Makkah? No. There are five miqat points, set in the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him. In no special order: Dhat Irq, Yalamlam, al-Juhfah, Qarn al-Manazil and Dhul Hulayfah. All of them are far outside Makkah. People who are already in Makkah usually do not go back to one of them for Umrah. They go out past the Haram boundary instead. Saudipedia, the Saudi national encyclopedia, names Tan'eem and Ji'ranah as places where this is done. Whether this fits your case is a question for a scholar. ## Book a miqat trip From **SAR 100** Vehicle Fare, **SAR 100**, Whole vehicle, return included [Book on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/966507629657?text=Hello%20Umrah%20Online%20Taxi%2C%20I%20would%20like%20to%20book%20this%20ride.%0ARoute%3A%20Makkah%20to%20Masjid%20Ayesha%20miqat%0ADate%3A%20Mon%2026%20Oct%202026%0APick%20up%20time%3A%202%3A00%20PM%0APassengers%3A%202%0ALarge%20cases%3A%202%0AVehicle%3A%20Toyota%20Camry%20%28Sedan%2C%204%20seats%2C%202%20bags%29%0AFare%3A%20SAR%20100%20%28Whole%20vehicle%2C%20return%20included%29%0APayment%3A%20I%20will%20pay%20the%20driver%20at%20the%20end.)
