Anyone going from Riyadh to Madina next weekend?
I'm looking to car-share (I can drive as well - although I'm a better driver during daylight hours).
Perhaps leave on Wednesday? Or Thursday after Fajr?
And get back for Friday by Maghrib - leave after Fajr on Friday.

I really really really want to go

Dude, fyi only Muslims are allowed to enter Madinah. Hope you had considered this, before you made your plans to Madinah.
Good Luck!!
Enjoy!!!

Hello Britisher.

You can try to post an advert in the Community section (Carpooling) in the Riyadh classifieds. It can help.

Have a nice trip.

Thank you,

Nas Air is offering round trip 400 SAR to Madinah Munawarah

Save yourself the hassle of driving 8-9 hours one way

Good luck

Epic advice; I booked with NasAir, thanks the_blade.
Can anyone advise how early I should get to the airports (RUH and MED) before my flight leaves?

Boarding starts 45 mins before departure.

I would get there at least an hour before departure (security can take some time) and I am assuming your travelling without any luggage to book. (if you have kuggage then you need to be earlier).

Madina airport is about 20 - 30 mins from Masjid Nabvi.

Taxi from airport to masjid nabvi will be SR 50-SR 60.
