Before your trip

Routes near Makkah need extra planning: check current official entry requirements and choose a permitted route. A location in Makkah Province is not necessarily inside the restricted city.

Some trips reach Taif, Zulfi or other areas beyond the city. Distances are approximate routes from a city reference, not from your location. An entry is a planning reference, not confirmation of vehicle access or camping permission.
