Taif International Airport (TIF) is the mountain gateway to Taif – the “City of Roses” — sitting about 1,800 m up in the Sarawat Mountains, roughly 25-30 km from the city centre and around 1.5 hours from Makkah via the Al Hada highway.
Direct transfers to Taif city centre, Shubra and the city’s hotels and resorts — including Al Hada, Al Shafa and the mountain hotels above the city. Share your hotel name and we confirm the exact route.
Two of Saudi Arabia’s best mountain drives start right at the airport. The Al Hada road winds over the ridge with sweeping valley views, while Al Shafa — the kingdom’s highest settled area — is the cloud-sea viewpoint. A complimentary 30-minute Al Hada overlook stop is included on request.
Direct transfers from TIF to Makkah for Umrah, following the non-Haram highway approach — see the reference fares above, with a prayer stop available on request.
