visiting Mecca and the sacred shrine of the Ka\u02bfbah outside the Hajj period.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to visiting Mecca and Medina for the Umrah pilgrimage, you can travel to other cities in Saudi Arabia such as Jeddah and Taif \u2013 all meaningful places in a country that has witnessed the most consequential events in Islamic history. For direct flights to Medina, you can view <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turkishairlines.com\/en-int\/flights\/flights-to-medina\/index.html?utm_source=tkblog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=tkblogpostbookaticket\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.turkishairlines.com\/en-int\/flights\/flights-to-medina\/index.html?utm_source=tkblog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=tkblogpostbookaticket\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Medina flight ticket<\/a>s.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><p><b><strong>How to go on the Umrah with Turkish Airlines<\/strong><\/b><\/p><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Turkish Airlines operates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turkishairlines.com\/en-us\/book-flights-to-saudi-arabia?utm_source=tkblog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=tkblogpostbookaticket\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.turkishairlines.com\/en-us\/book-flights-to-saudi-arabia?utm_source=tkblog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=tkblogpostbookaticket\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flights to Saudi Arabia<\/a>, including the cities of Medina, Jeddah, Riyadh, Taif and Dammam. Flights from Istanbul Airport or Sabiha G\u00f6k\u00e7en Airport to Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Airport in Medina take approximately three and a half hours. Direct flights from Istanbul to King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah take approximately four hours. Saudi Arabia now offers eVisas to citizens of 63 countries. You can click <a href=\"https:\/\/visa.visitsaudi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a> for more information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning the Umrah pilgrimage, you can take advantage of your time in Saudi Arabia to visit other cities such as Medina, Jeddah and Taif. As these cities are not on the Umrah route, you can organize your own tour to explore these places. In Medina, for instance, we recommend visiting the Masjid-i Nabaw\u00ee&#8217;, the Jannat-ul Baqi cemetery, the Martyrs of Uhud Cemetery, the Masjid Quba and the Masjid al-Qiblatayn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a trip with more flexibility, you may prefer to travel on your own, rather than with a tour group. For this, it is useful to have information regarding transportation and procedures. For example, buses and high-speed trains run between Mecca and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turkishairlines.com\/en-int\/flights\/flights-to-jeddah\/index.htmlhttps:\/www.turkishairlines.com\/en-int\/flights\/flights-to-jeddah\/index.html?utm_source=tkblog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=tkblogpostbookaticket\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.turkishairlines.com\/en-int\/flights\/flights-to-jeddah\/index.htmlhttps:\/www.turkishairlines.com\/en-int\/flights\/flights-to-jeddah\/index.html?utm_source=tkblog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=tkblogpostbookaticket\">Jeddah<\/a>, with the train trip taking approximately 35 minutes; transfers are also available from King Abdulaziz International Airport. For train travel between Mecca and Medina, you can check the timetables <a href=\"https:\/\/sar.hhr.sa\/timetable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a> and make a reservation; be aware that tickets sell out quickly during peak periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a less crowded airport, the city of Taif offers a more easygoing entry into Saudi Arabia; eligible travelers can enter with an e-Visa. As a summer resort for the country\u2019s residents, Taif is also a popular tourist destination. The drive from Taif to Mecca takes around 75 minutes. At present, there is no train line between the two cities, so visitors can use applications such as Uber or Careem to hire a car and driver for the trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you set off from Jeddah, Medina or Taif and arrive in Mecca, you can proceed to the designated Miqat to enter into Ihram (state of ritual purity, including suitable garments) at the mosque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><p><b><strong>Getting a Saudi Arabia Umrah visa is easy!<\/strong><\/b><\/p><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Saudi Arabia offers various visa facilities for pilgrims performing the Umrah.
