When Should You Choose UmrahTransit Over the Train?
1. Traveling with 3 or More Passengers
For a family of 4, buying 4 train tickets from Makkah to Madinah costs ~SAR 688, plus SAR 150 for station taxis = SAR 838 total. A private Hyundai Staria MPV from UmrahTransit costs SAR 700 fixed total for all 4 passengers—saving you money while taking you directly from hotel lobby to hotel lobby.
2. Carrying Multiple Suitcases & Zamzam
Haramain Train enforcing luggage weight and dimensions strictly. Hauling 6 large suitcases and Zamzam containers across airport stations, ticket barriers, and train platforms can be exhausting for families and seniors.
