Discover everything you need to know about Haramain High-Speed Rail Booking. A comprehensive destination guide updated for 2026.
The Haramain High-Speed Railway (HHR) is the most advanced transportation infrastructure in the Middle East, connecting the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah via Jeddah and King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC). Reaching speeds of 300 km/h, it has reduced the travel time between Makkah and Madinah from 6 hours via bus to just over 2 hours via train.
Yes, the Jeddah Airport Station (located directly inside Terminal 1 of JED) is a major hub on the line. It takes approximately 35-40 minutes to reach Makkah from the airport. It is highly recommended to book your tickets weeks in advance via the HHR website or mobile app, especially during Ramadan and school holidays, as trains sell out rapidly.
