Car Hire in Qurban - Mini guide to Qurban

Qurban is a suburb district in Saudi Arabia's holy city of Madinah. Madinah is famous for being the burial location of the founder of Islam, the prophet Muhammad. The city's total population is over a million people, and is situated 340kms north of Mecca, the holiest Islamic pilgrimage site.

Madinah is an oasis in the Saudi desert, and as such, has grown immensely since its days as a small trading stop for merchants. Now, the city is a bustling metropolis and one of the largest in Saudi Arabia. Qurban, a district just south of the city centre, is a good location to find restaurants, accommodation, and car hire in Qurban.

Tourism for this town centers mostly around the Islamic holy holidays when pilgrims journey to the tomb of their prophet Muhammad. Also buried in the city is Muhammad's daughter, Fatima. Car rental at Qurban is essential to touring the city as public transportation can be slightly unreliable and confusing. Private taxis can also be found for hire.

Also, for those who chose cheap car hire at Qurban, a drive to the historic Red Sea coast can make for a great daytrip. The seaside coastline is 190kms from Madinah, and is an interesting array of both fertile oasis and rolling sand dunes.

Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport is located to the north of Qurban and is the only international airport serving the city. Because of the city's deep religious heritage and the tomb of the prophet Muhammad, passenger traffic at the airport generally triples during Islamic holy holidays such as Hijj, as well as other Saudi school breaks. In off season the airport serves about 25 flights for each day, this number, however, triples during the Hijj season.
