Comprehensive comparison of door-to-door transit, Miqat stops at Bir Ali, and family luggage freedom.
Summary: The Haramain Train is exceptionally fast (2h20m station-to-station) but enforces strict 1-bag limits and requires station taxis on both ends. A private chauffeur provides direct hotel-to-hotel transit with an included stop at Bir Ali Miqat for Ihram and prayer.
