My Journey with Saudia Taxi – Taxi from Jeddah to Taif and Makkah to Jeddah City Tour

When traveling across Saudi Arabia, especially between cities with such unique landscapes and histories, the quality of your transportation service can make all the difference. My recent trips with Saudia Taxi—first taking a taxi from Jeddah to Taif, and later enjoying a Makkah to Jeddah city tour—proved to me that professional service, comfort, and local expertise can transform a regular ride into a memorable travel experience.

Comfortable and Scenic Taxi from Jeddah to Taif

The journey from Jeddah to Taif is unlike most city-to-city trips in Saudi Arabia. It’s not just about the distance—it’s about the change in scenery, climate, and atmosphere. Taif is located in the mountains, known for its cooler weather, rose farms, and beautiful views, while Jeddah is a coastal city with a warm Red Sea breeze.

I booked my taxi from Jeddah to Taif with Saudia Taxi after hearing about their reliability and comfort. The driver arrived at my hotel in Jeddah on time, greeting me with a smile and assisting with my luggage. The vehicle was spotless, with air conditioning set at a comfortable level, and had spacious seating that made the long ride relaxing.

The road to Taif involves climbing winding mountain roads, and this is where the driver’s skill became evident. He drove smoothly and confidently, handling the curves with precision while also allowing me to enjoy the spectacular mountain views. We made short stops at scenic viewpoints along the way, where I could take photographs and breathe in the crisp, fresh air.

During the ride, the driver shared interesting facts about Taif, its famous rose products, and the seasonal festivals. It felt less like a taxi ride and more like a guided introduction to the city I was heading toward.

Arrival in Taif – A Blend of History and Nature

When we reached Taif, Saudia Taxi continued to impress me with their flexibility. Instead of simply dropping me off, the driver offered to take me to a few must-see spots before heading to my hotel. We visited a local rose garden, where the fragrance of blooming flowers filled the air, and stopped at Al Rudaf Park for a quick stroll.

The fresh climate of Taif was a refreshing contrast to Jeddah’s humidity, and the calm mountain atmosphere made the whole trip feel like an escape. Knowing that I had a reliable taxi service for my return journey gave me complete peace of mind.

Exploring Jeddah with the Makkah to Jeddah City Tour

After my Taif experience, I booked Saudia Taxi again for a Makkah to Jeddah city tour. Jeddah is known as the gateway to Makkah, but it’s also a vibrant city filled with cultural heritage, modern attractions, and coastal beauty.

The trip began in Makkah, where the driver picked me up right from my hotel. The drive to Jeddah took just over an hour, and the comfort of the vehicle made the short distance even more enjoyable. Once we arrived, the city tour began with a visit to Jeddah’s famous Corniche, where the Red Sea stretched endlessly in front of us. The gentle sea breeze and the sight of families enjoying the waterfront set a relaxing tone for the day.

Next, we explored Al-Balad, Jeddah’s historic district and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The narrow streets, traditional Hijazi architecture, and lively markets gave me a glimpse into the city’s rich history. Saudia Taxi’s driver was knowledgeable about the area, pointing out historical buildings and explaining their cultural significance.

We also visited modern attractions, including shopping malls and art galleries, showcasing Jeddah’s mix of tradition and modernity. Since it was a private tour, I could decide how long to spend at each location, and the driver adjusted the itinerary based on my interests.

The Saudia Taxi Experience – Comfort, Knowledge, and Flexibility

Both my taxi from Jeddah to Taif and my Makkah to Jeddah city tour had a few things in common that made them special. First, the comfort level was outstanding. Saudia Taxi clearly maintains their vehicles well, keeping them clean, spacious, and well-equipped for long or short trips.

Second, the drivers are more than just chauffeurs—they act as informal guides. They know the routes, the local history, and the best places to stop for refreshments or sightseeing. In Taif, the driver recommended a small café that served fresh mountain honey with traditional bread, and in Jeddah, he pointed out the best spots to capture sunset photos over the Corniche.

Lastly, their flexibility made the trips even more enjoyable. Instead of following a strict, timed itinerary, they allowed me to explore at my own pace. If I wanted to linger a little longer at a rose farm in Taif or take extra time shopping in Al-Balad, the driver was patient and accommodating.

Safety and Reliability on Every Journey

In Saudi Arabia, where long drives often take you through deserts, mountains, or busy city roads, having a reliable taxi service is essential. On both trips, I felt completely safe with Saudia Taxi. Their drivers are experienced, their vehicles are well-maintained, and their focus on punctuality is impressive.

For my trip to Taif, the driver navigated challenging mountain roads with confidence, never speeding or making me feel uneasy. On the city tour in Jeddah, he managed the busy traffic with ease, ensuring we reached each destination smoothly.

Value for the Experience

Some travelers might opt for cheaper transport options, but my experience showed me that Saudia Taxi offers great value for the service provided. The comfort, the knowledgeable guidance, the flexibility, and the safety all combined to create memorable journeys.

Whether it was the scenic mountain trip from Jeddah to Taif or the vibrant coastal and cultural exploration of the Makkah to Jeddah city tour, I felt I received much more than just transportation—I got an experience worth remembering.
