The shortest leg of your trip, but the first
If Taif itself is your destination, for work, a summer break or a family visit, the ride from Taif International Airport into the city is the first thing you need after landing. The airport lies outside the city, and hotels and furnished apartments are spread between central Taif and the residential districts, while the resorts sit along the Al Hada and Al Shafa roads. This page covers drop-offs within the city.
With Umrah Taxi the driver waits in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name. We track your flight, you get 60 minutes of free waiting after landing, and the fare is fixed for the whole car and paid on arrival.
Where in Taif?
- City-centre hotels: close to the souqs and restaurants; the hotel name is enough.
- Furnished apartments and chalets: send a map pin, as some are in districts that are hard to describe.
- Relatives’ homes: a location link is enough, and the driver calls you as he gets close.
If you are heading to Al Hada, Al Shafa or Makkah instead, see our Taif International Airport service, which covers those destinations.

Good to know in Taif
- Summer is peak season: hotels and cars get busy, so book early.
- Cool evenings: even in summer you may want a light layer at night.
- Getting around: for a day of souqs and sights try the hourly chauffeur service; for everyday rides see Taif taxi.
- Umrah afterwards: if you decide to go down to Makkah, book a Taif to Makkah taxi with a stop at the miqat.

How long is the ride?
It depends on where your hotel is and on traffic, but it is usually a short trip compared with intercity routes.
I am staying in a chalet or furnished apartment. What should I send?
A map pin, as some are in districts that are hard to describe. For a relative's home a location link is enough, and the driver calls you as he gets close.
