Hi everyone

Anyone managed to do a road trip in private car from Riyadh to Mecca - RECENTLY?

Concerned about services on the way - Are there toilets / refreshment / facilities en route?

Thanks in advance 😊

Hello..

The distance between Riyadh to Makkah via road is around 880 KM.The road is normal but its not good as Between Riyadh to Madinah,try to stop in SASCO petrol pumps because they have better facilities as compared to others i mean toilets are much cleaner than others.

Hello..

The highway is pretty good with very minimal bumps on it.. It would be a good experience.. Just take care of the Sahar camera's during night .. better to travel in morning hours.. And yeah , i would advise you to prefer SASCO petrol pumps for refreshing yourself.. there are few eateries as well at the petrol pumps..you will find three or four SASCO pumps during the journey...Overall, the trip would be advisable. So go for it without being worried.
