Saudi Arabia · TAIF TOURS
Taif sits high enough to be cool in summer, which is the whole reason to go. These 5 cover the rose farms, the escarpment road and the old souq, priced, with driving time from Jeddah noted.
Spend nine hours traveling from Jeddah into Taif’s cooler Sarawat Mountains. With guide Khurram, you’ll stop at Al Hada, a rose farm and perfume factory, enjoy a traditional lunch, and visit Jebel Daka and Al Shafa. Expect striking mountain views and a long day on the road.
“we had an amazing day and Khuram our guide was super helpful and very nice, we highly recommend”
Travel from Jeddah to Taif in a small group of up to five with an English-speaking driver-guide. See Shubra Palace from outside, old Taif’s Bab Alrea gate, Al Rudaf Park, Taif Heart Mall, and the Al Shafa and Al Hada mountain roads. Plan for a long day and a steep mountain walk.
“het was een mooie reis vanaf Jeddah met een goede gids die veel uitlegde. Een ding was lastig en verwarrend en dat van de vertrektijd van 9u, die niet klopte. het werd 15u. hierdoor konden de bergtocht via Al Shafa met licht en de zonsondergang meemaken; prachtig! de terugreis via Al Hada met indrukwekkende afdaling, moest helaas in het donker plaatsvinden. we begrijpen dat het leven hier in de avond plaatsvindt. Al met al hebben we toch genoten!! advies: maak het plan duidelijk!!”
Join Mohammed Alhabri for a full day from Mecca into Taif Province. You’ll visit Al Hada’s Berry Village, Mount Lebanon, Al Shafa’s high point, a Taif rose farm, Shubra Palace, and Barhat Al Qazzaz, with local food tasting and hotel transport included.
“This Ta'if day trip was so fun and enlightening. Mohammed is an excellent guide, and he's also very generous. He speaks English well and is very knowledgeable. Overall, wonderful trip but unfortunately, the Shubra Palace Museum was closed under renovation during our visit, and we didn't know, so it's best to make sure it's open.”
Travel by private Jeep or SUV from Makkah or Jeddah into the cool mountains of Al-Hada and Taif. Expect cable-car views, wildlife, rose products, historic palaces, and local food. Al-Shafa is optional, and guide Manal has earned praise for warm, attentive service.
“We recently went on Al-Hada,Al-Shafa and Taif tour. We were much impressed with the warm and friendly tour guide, Manal, who exemplifies genuine Arab hospitality. Indeed our family had a most memorable experience.”
Join guide Ahmad Aljuaed for a private four-hour tour of Taif, with hotel pickup, Wi-Fi, water, and coffee. See Shubra Palace, the old souk, Rudaf Park, Al Hada Mountain, its cable car and rose farms, then reach the high point of the Shafa Mountains.
“Nice tour with good comments. Cable car ride is great. Guide very friendly and speak good English. I recommend”
Pick a cliff, a coral lane or a reef.
