Jeddah to Medina Destination Reviews

Atiful I
I wish there was a negative rating available. The booking did not work and we had to take a taxi to Madinah. As per the guidelines provided, we had mailed rahaltransport53@gmail.com 3 days in advance but he did not respond. We reached the station in the morning and they said these are not tickets. We contacted through different means and got to know that the person had just mailed us a night before our morning journey, that too with no tickets, just asking if you are travelling. He seems to be a fraudster making money out of gullible pilgrims. We want 100% refund back We had done booking recently in Kazaksthan/Kyrgystan through 12go and that was good, but this Jeddah to Madinah booking fraud leaves us with a really bitter experience where we will never use 12go and discourage others too from using it.

Very important to always update the platform when tickets are sold out. Not nice to make payment and trip gets postponed due to non availability of tickets.

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Jeddah and Medina, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
