Taif Airport excursions

Taif sits in one of the loveliest regions of Saudi Arabia, in the Sarawat Mountains, not far from Mecca. It's the summer home of the Saudi government and is surrounded by an agricultural oasis which is famous for its roses, delicious honey and grapes. Also here is Mohammed's sanctuary, where he allegedly sheltered in 619 AD. Car hire in Taif Airport is good for touring the oasis.

Best time to visit

The arid climate receives little rain, although the region's height above sea level mitigates the scorching temperatures of the lowland cities. Winter is cool, with temperatures occasionally dropping to freezing at night and summer highs of around 30?C. Heavy thunderstorms accompanied by hail may occur in winter but the weather is far friendlier here than in Saudi destinations at sea level.

Car rental in Taif Airport

As with all Saudi cities, Taif offers good roads of a modern standard but they can become very crowded year-round. However, travelling around the agricultural belt surrounding the city is no problem. For those planning to self-drive here, it's a good idea to compare car hire rates online before you book a vehicle.
