Haramain Train: Plan the Journey, Not Just the Ticket

The Haramain High Speed Railway is a key way to move between Makkah, Jeddah and Madinah. Check the official timetable and ticket conditions for your date, then plan station transfers at both ends.

Make the movement part simple.

Reviewed 15 August 2026. Transport, access and operating arrangements can change. Verify time-sensitive details with the responsible official service before travelling.

01

Check the official schedule

Schedules and availability are date-specific. Use the railway's official booking channel for current departures, fares and conditions.

02

Know the station

A ticket gets you between stations, not between your hotel and the platform. Confirm the exact departure station and transfer plan.

03

Plan Makkah and Madinah transfers

Allow time for road traffic, hotel pickup and station entry. Pilgrimage periods can make short map distances take longer.

04

Jeddah and airport planning

Confirm the station printed on your booking and make sure it matches your airport or city-transfer plan.

05

Check baggage and ticket rules

Baggage allowances, changes and conditions can be updated. Read the conditions attached to the ticket you are buying.

06

Build a connection buffer

Avoid tight connections against an international flight or another fixed departure. Leave room for delays outside the rail journey.
