Plan the ride to Madinah's Haramain station

Sobre esta Trap
The Haramain train station sits well outside the Prophet's Mosque area, so you cannot walk it from your hotel. Guides say there is no metro or shuttle for the trip, and a taxi or ride-hailing app is the usual way. Set up the app before you arrive and leave at least 45 minutes before departure. If a taxi has no meter, agree the fare before you get in.
