- Apply for Saudi Visa or get visa on arrival – Applying for Saudi visa is very easy. You can do this online, when there are three months or less left before your travel dates. You can either apply online or get visa on arrival at Saudi airport and there is no difference in price. Another option is to get an e-visa waiver, at around £35 it cost less then the half price compared to an e-visa. E-visa waiver gives you single entry to Kingdom Saudi Arabia while e-visa is valid for 365 days and allows multiple entries during this period.
- Arrange transport or wait until you are there – You can arrange transport when you are in the country – this option normally costs less. Taxis are available at most places and cost is very reasonable. They can take you from Jeddah to Madinah for less than £100
Make sure to check the vaccinations requirements for Saudi Arabia before you travel.
A hotel which is further away from the AlHaramain is normally the cheapest option, however it may not be most feasible option as you will have to rely on a taxi or on the hotel shuttle to take you to Majid Al Haram and Masjid Al Nabawi. We recommend a 3 or 4 start hotel which is within walking distance of both the Masjids.
