Umrah Taxi for Malaysian Pilgrims in Saudi Arabia
Travelling for Umrah from Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Kota Bharu or another part of Malaysia? Book your private transfers in Saudi Arabia in advance, so your driver is waiting when your group lands.
Arriving from Malaysia
Pilgrims from Malaysia commonly arrive in Jeddah or Madinah as part of an organised tour or a family group. Your driver meets you at arrivals and helps with luggage, which saves time after a long flight.
Time difference
Saudi Arabia is 5 hours behind Malaysia all year round, since Malaysia is on UTC+8 and Saudi Arabia on UTC+3. Check this when you share arrival times.
Busy travel times
Malaysian school holidays, Ramadan and the weeks around the festive seasons are the busiest times. Large groups should book their buses well in advance.
Which vehicle to choose
Many Malaysian pilgrims travel in tour groups. The Toyota Coaster carries up to 18 passengers and 19 bags, and is ideal for tour operators moving a whole group between the airport, hotels and ziyarat sites.
