The King Abdul Aziz International airport at Jeddah has three terminals; one for foreign airlines, one for Saudi Airlines and one is Madina-tul-hujjaj also known as Hajj terminal, and is in operation during Hajj season.

During Umrah if you fly into Jeddah by any airline other than Saudi Airlines you will disembark at the Hajj terminal. If you are intending to fly to Madinah then you will have to change the terminal and go to Saudi Airline terminal, because all domestic flights depart from the Saudi Airlines terminal only.

You will not have to change terminals if you are going straight to Makkah or Madinah by road you will take one of our private transportation to Makkah or Madinah. Below is list of our transportation that provided to pilgrims.

During Hajj season, it does not matter which airline you fly. Pilgrims are transferred to hajj terminal and from there they either fly/go by road to Madinah/Makkah. For pilgrims travelling by road towards Makkah or Madinah in buses, the Saudi government has established the general vehicles syndicate in 1952 which was given special responsibility in the hajj transportation system. The responsibility is about transporting external pilgrims from their entry ports (e.g. Airports) to the sacred places (e.g. Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifa) including transportation towards hotels in Makkah and Madinah. The membership of the Syndicate is comprises more than 20 transport companies (e.g. Qawafel, Rwahell, Rabitet Makkah and so on) working in co-ordination with competent government agencies.

Therefore, transportation from an entry point towards hotels in Makkah or Madinah although the transportation from hotels in Makkah towards and between the sacred places must be done through or provided by the General Vehicles Syndicate. Buses provided by the syndicate may/not in the best conditions. Nevertheless, buses used in transporting towards VIP tents in the sacred places, or in transportation between Makkah to Madinah and vice versa, can be upgraded to higher standard in terms of condition by signing a contract with the desired transport company and under the supervision of the syndicate by paying additional sum per pilgrim.

King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz ordered the construction of the sacred places train network in order to assist in the transport of pilgrims between the sacred places and thereby reduce the problem of traffic jams and all other negative aspects which accompany them.

At the present time, the train connects Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat. Its primary aim is to lessen dependence on buses to move pilgrims between the sacred places. It is expected that the train will replace 30,000 buses and will contribute greatly to increasing the safety level of pilgrim movement while also transporting large numbers of pilgrims within a short time frame as compared to traditional methods of transport. This will also contribute to a smoother flow of traffic for those buses that remain in service. The train travels between nine main stations in Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina, beginning with three stations in Arafat, followed by three stations in Muzdalifah, and finishing with final three stations in Mina.
