Visiting Makkah
Makkah is the southern terminus of the Haramain High Speed Railway in western Saudi Arabia. The city has one main intercity train station, Makkah Station, served by Haramain high-speed services along the Makkah-Jeddah-Madinah corridor. This makes Makkah a key rail endpoint for passengers traveling across the Hejaz region.
Trains from Makkah are operated on the Haramain High Speed Railway, with reserved-seat services linking Makkah Station to Jeddah, King Abdulaziz International Airport, King Abdullah Economic City, and Madinah. The train station sits outside the central pilgrimage area, so passengers should plan onward road transport between Makkah Station and their final address in the city.
Rail routes from Makkah run west toward Jeddah and the Red Sea coast, northwest toward King Abdulaziz International Airport, north through King Abdullah Economic City, and onward to Madinah. Train tickets are most in demand during Hajj season, Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha. Book trains from and to Makkah online at Rail Monsters.
