Beyond the rituals of Umrah, the city of Makkah is home to profound Islamic history. At Umrah Hosting, our Makkah Ziyarat taxi service offers a comfortable and educational way to visit the landmarks that shaped the early days of Islam.
Our specialized Saudi taxi services are designed for pilgrims who wish to explore these holy sites with a professional driver who understands the significance of each location.
Makkah has transformed the visitor experience at the two most famous mountains. Our Ziyarat tours now include stops at these state-of-the-art centers:
Hira Cultural District: Located at the foot of Jabal al-Noor, this district features the Revelation Exhibition, which uses 4D technology to simulate the Cave of Hira. In February 2026, the museum debuted the world’s largest handwritten Qur’an, a must-see for every visitor.
Jabal Thawr Cultural District: A newly opened 127,000 m² project featuring the Hijrah Exhibition. It narrates the Prophet’s (PBUH) journey to Madinah using immersive museum displays, perfect for those who cannot hike to the summit.
When you book a taxi in Makkah for Ziyarat with us, you will visit the most significant locations:
Jabal al-Noor (Ghar-e-Hira): The Mountain of Light. Visit the modern visitor center or take a guided trip to the base.
Jabal al-Rahmah (Mount Arafat): The site of the Farewell Sermon. Most pilgrims spend time here in prayer at the “Mount of Mercy.”
Mina, Muzdalifah, & Jamarat: See the “City of Tents” and the site of the stoning ritual outside of the Hajj season.
Makkah Museum (Al Zaher Palace): Open daily (8:00 AM – 12:30 PM), this museum houses artifacts from the pre-Islamic and early Islamic eras.
Clock Tower Museum: Located 480m above the Haram, offering an interactive journey through astronomy and timekeeping with panoramic views of the Kaaba.
