Car Hire in Naft Madinah - Mini guide to Naft Madinah

Madinah is the second holiest location in Saudi Arabia, next to Mecca. The city, which holds deep religious significance for the Islam faith, is the burial place of the Islamic founder, Muhammad. At present, Madinah houses one million residents, and is located 340kms to the north of Mecca.

Madinah, an ancient desert oasis, is held to be some of the most fertile soil in the Middle East. As such, the city is well known for its production of honey and other agriculture. The city, today, is one of the largest in Saudi Arabia, and has become a hub for industry and tourism. Car hire at Naft Madinah is a reliable way to tour the city, as public transportation can be somewhat limited.

Easily the most visited place in the city is the Mosque of the Prophet, or more recognizable as the tomb of Muhammad. Also located in Madinah is the tomb of the prophet's daughter, Fatima. Various other Islamic holy sites can be found throughout the city which centre on Muhammad and some of his more famous followers.

With car rental at Naft Madinah, visitors can access the well marked highways for a day trip out to the Red Sea coast. The coastline is a historic and picturesque location, quite possibly one of the more famous in Saudi Arabia. The drive is about 190kms one way and can easily be made as a day trip, whilst still maintaining accommodation in Madinah.

Madinah is accessed by one major international airport, the Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport. The airport offers around 25 flights per day each week, however this number triples during the Hijj season, when devout Muslims make their pilgrimage to Mecca. As the airport is about 30kms outside the city, cheap car hire at Naft Madinah is a good way to secure reliable transport out to the airport.
