My Experience with Saudia Taxi: Taxi Taif Ziyarat & Private AlUla Tour Services

Whenever I visit Saudi Arabia, my trips are always a mix of spiritual journeys and cultural explorations. While the heart of my travel is in Makkah and Madinah for Umrah and Ziyarat, I always feel drawn to explore other historic and scenic parts of the Kingdom. On my most recent trip, I booked Taxi Taif Ziyarat and Private AlUla Tour Services with Saudia Taxi, and I must say these experiences added unforgettable memories to my spiritual journey.

Booking with Saudia Taxi

From the very beginning, the booking process was simple and professional. I reached out to Saudia Taxi via WhatsApp, and within minutes, I received details about different packages, prices, and car options. Everything was transparent, with no hidden charges, and I felt confident that I was choosing a service that valued honesty and customer satisfaction.

The cars offered ranged from sedans and SUVs to larger vans for groups and families. Since we were a small group of three, we chose a comfortable SUV. The vehicle was neat, air-conditioned, and spacious, which made a big difference on long journeys. The driver was punctual, arriving on time with a warm greeting and a professional demeanor.

Taxi Taif Ziyarat – A Refreshing Journey

The first trip I booked was the Taxi Taif Ziyarat. Taif is known as the "City of Roses," located in the mountains, offering cooler weather and scenic landscapes compared to Makkah’s heat. This was something I was excited to experience, and Saudia Taxi made the journey enjoyable from the very start.

The drive to Taif was smooth and relaxing. As the car moved up the mountain roads, the scenery became more breathtaking. The driver skillfully managed the winding routes, and I felt completely safe throughout the ride.

During the ziyarat, we visited several remarkable spots, including:

• Shafa Mountains: The fresh breeze and panoramic views were simply refreshing. Standing there made me feel like I was in a different world, far from the busy life of the cities.
  
  

• Al Hada Road: Famous for its twists and turns, this road is an attraction in itself. The driver also recommended the cable car ride, which provided stunning views of the valley below.
  
  

• Taif Rose Gardens: I had always heard about Taif roses, and finally seeing the gardens and the traditional rosewater distillation process was an unforgettable experience.
  
  

• Historical Mosques and Ziyarat Sites: The trip also included mosques and places connected with early Islamic history, making the journey spiritually uplifting as well.
  
  

What I appreciated most about Saudia Taxi’s Taxi Taif Ziyarat service was the flexibility. The driver gave us enough time at each spot to explore and pray, never rushing us. It felt like a personalized journey rather than a fixed schedule.

Hospitality and Comfort

Traveling with Saudia Taxi never felt like a regular taxi ride. The driver offered us cold bottled water and made stops at local shops where we could buy fresh fruits and snacks. Small gestures like this made the journey comfortable and enjoyable.

The car ride itself was peaceful. At times, we listened to light Qur’an recitations, and at other times, we simply enjoyed the quietness of the mountains. The sense of care and hospitality was evident throughout the trip.

Private AlUla Tour Services – Exploring History and Culture

After my refreshing Taif ziyarat, I wanted to explore the historic side of Saudi Arabia, so I booked Private AlUla Tour Services with Saudia Taxi. AlUla is a place I had always dreamed of visiting, known for its breathtaking landscapes and archaeological treasures.

The drive to AlUla was long but extremely comfortable. With spacious seating, air-conditioning, and a knowledgeable driver, I didn’t feel the hours pass. Along the way, the driver pointed out interesting landmarks and ensured we had enough breaks for refreshments and prayers.

Once we arrived, the experience felt magical. Some highlights of the Private AlUla Tour Services included:

• Hegra (Madain Saleh): The most iconic site in AlUla, with ancient Nabataean rock-cut tombs similar to Petra in Jordan. Seeing Qasr al-Farid (The Lonely Castle) up close was awe-inspiring.
  
  

• Jabal Ikmah: Known as an open library of inscriptions and carvings, this spot gave me a deeper appreciation of the region’s historical significance.
  
  

• AlUla Old Town: A charming area filled with mudbrick houses, old markets, and stories of the past. Walking through these narrow streets felt like stepping back in time.
  
  

• Elephant Rock: A natural rock formation shaped like an elephant, which is one of AlUla’s most famous landmarks. Watching the sunset here was absolutely breathtaking.
  
  

What made this tour special was the privacy and personalization. With Saudia Taxi, I didn’t feel rushed or restricted like in group tours. I could spend as much time as I wanted at each site, taking in the history and beauty around me.

Why Saudia Taxi Made My Trips Memorable

Both the Taxi Taif Ziyarat and the Private AlUla Tour Services stood out because of the level of professionalism and personal care Saudia Taxi provided. Unlike typical transport services, they focused on making the journey an experience, not just a ride.

Some of the reasons I found their service exceptional:

• Punctuality: Always on time for pickups and drop-offs.
  
  

• Clean and Comfortable Vehicles: Essential for long journeys like Taif and AlUla.
  
  

• Knowledgeable Drivers: Shared cultural and historical insights that made the trip more meaningful.

Memorable Moments

Two moments from these trips will always stay with me. The first was standing in the cool winds of the Shafa Mountains in Taif, surrounded by breathtaking views and rose gardens. It felt like a natural paradise.

The second was during the AlUla tour, when I stood before the magnificent Qasr al-Farid tomb in Hegra. The silence of the desert, combined with the grand scale of the monument, gave me a deep sense of connection with history. These experiences were made possible thanks to Saudia Taxi’s seamless arrangements.
