i went to Makkah last week ( 7-8 August ) and this week ( 4-15 August ) by car from riyadh to makkah and back
Last week we started at 18:15 and we reached makkah aroud 4:30 in the morning.
This time we started at 23:00 and reached 7:00 .
The leason learned that we shud travel after all buses gone.
Taif first, which will be your Meeqat area, you will wear Ahram from here, then you will head to Makkah.. Jeddah is like 75 m away from Makkah on the road towards Madina. But watch out now there is anew road which is separately made for Makkah-Madina, so one does not have to go through Jeddah... Again the Road Sign boards are very clear. What I suggest is that there are very good and interactive maps available at all the major airports. I specially liked the 3d map of Jaddah.
