A short ride where timing matters
Taif International Airport lies outside the city centre and serves both Taif residents and the summer visitors who stay in Al Hada, Al Shafa and the higher districts. The ride there isn't long by big-city standards, but from Al Hada or Al Shafa it takes noticeably longer, and any delay on departure day causes stress you don't need. Umrah Taxi arranges a private car with a driver who arrives on time and drops you at departures.
Where we collect you
Central Taif and its districts
Homes and hotels in the city, usually the closest to the airport.
Al Hada and Al Shafa
The summer resort areas and chalets in the highlands. The drive from there is longer and uses mountain roads, so we allow extra time.
Coming from outside Taif
If you are in Makkah and flying out of Taif, we have a dedicated page: Makkah hotels to Taif Airport.
When will the driver arrive?
We work back from take-off: about two hours before a domestic flight and three before an international one, plus road time from your location. Send us your flight time and location and we will suggest a pickup time, with the driver's name and number confirmed beforehand.

Choosing the car
Summer families usually head home with plenty of luggage after a long holiday, so the roomy family vehicle tends to fit best. A sedan is enough for one or two travellers, and VIP is there for extra comfort. Class details are on the fleet page.
The other direction
If you are flying into Taif, your driver waits in arrivals with your name on a sign, tracks your flight and allows 60 minutes of free waiting after landing. For other rides in the city see Taif taxi, and if you are heading to Makkah after landing, see Taif to Makkah.
